Shared Tears

“God Weeps Too” by Eli–an obscure Christian artist from the 90s–is one of my favorite songs. 

While he does not name situations of infidelity survival, I love how he names God as one who weeps alongside the broken-hearted. This understanding of God coming alongside like a good parent or friend was important for me to hold onto with faith as I went through the dark valleys of adultery discovery and divorce.

May this song minister to your spirit as it has mine over the years.

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

-Psalm 34:18, NIV
