Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes;
and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither
shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."
Did you know that your tears, when dried and
viewed under a microscope, reveal whether you were crying tears of joy,
tears of pain, or just peeling an onion?

Rose-Lynn Fisher discovered what our tears reveal about us when taking
pictures of the dried tears of one hundred subjects for her project
called "The Topography of Tears". When viewing her own tears, Fisher
said they "looked like an aerial view, almost as if I was looking down
at a landscape from a plane."
The Telegraph news website points out that
"tears contain oils, antibodies and enzymes and fall into three
categories; basal, which are released continuously to keep the eyes
lubricated; reflex, which occur in response to irritants such as when
chopping onions or when getting poked in the eye; and psychic, triggered
by emotions."
The website also noted that "scientists have
identified that different types of tears are made up of distinct
molecules. For example, those caused by emotions contain hormones which
act as a painkiller and are released when we are stressed."
Wasn't that good of our Creator to supply us
with tears to help us deal with both emotional and physical pain? Even
better, He is always ready to comfort us in times of sorrow. Tears are
not the result of mutations over millions of years. They were given to
us by a Creator who experienced great emotional pain in the garden of
Gethsemane and incredible physical pain when He died on the cross for
you and me.

I love this information. Tears are very important in my life. When God blesses me I cry. I am thankful to know this information about my tears.
