Introduction
You have heard about tears of joy. You might have seen or experienced it when loved ones meet or part from each other. People shed tears of joy in that moment of appreciation, when tears of joy fill one’s eyes, because of some goodness or kindness that is extraordinary. Such tears are precious in the eyes of God, and He sends down His Angels before hand to catch the tears from our eyes. Such is God’s love for His children, to the extent that He does not allow the tears of His children to be lost or wasted, in the same way that Angels collected every drop of blood that fell down from the body of Jesus.
Have you ever heard of tears of love?
Have you experienced it?
Have you seen a minister of God,
shedding tears in the public?
The tears of love are liquid gold to the Almighty God, because Himself is Love, Loving and Beloved. God is so loving that His eyes set on you are the eyes of love. That is why the scriptures say that ‘you are the apple of His eyes’ – the center of His attention.
I have experienced the tears of love several times. On such occasions, tears of love fill my eyes, spontaneously. That is how I know that Jesus has arrived in the midst of His people, the congregation. Also, that is how I know that Jesus loves somebody or is already interceding for the person in the presence of God.
The Bible says that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son to die on the cross, for the salvation of mankind. That is true, indeed. Again, I say that God so loves the world that His heart fills every sorrow, every pain, every cry and every disappointment in your life. Even, He compensates for the least disappointment. That is why the Bible says that on the Last Day, God would wipe away every tear from the eyes of His children.

9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!" 11 All the angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
"Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever. Amen."
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, "Who are these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?"
14 And I said to him, "Sir, you know."
So he said to me, "These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore they are before the throne of God, and serve Him day and night in His temple. And He who sits on the throne will dwell among them. 16 They shall neither hunger anymore nor thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any heat; 17 for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:9-8:1
Precious Pearls
Jesus shed his blood on earth, for the salvation of mankind, and for the purification and restoration of the entire universe. His drops of blood were so precious that God sent down angels, who collected all the precious drops. Physically, people saw the blood dropping or falling to the ground. But in spirit, none of the drops of blood was lost or wasted.
Likewise, when you cry or weep, with tears in your eyes. You are so precious to God that none of your tears are ever lost or wasted. When people cry or weep, Angels of God collect their tears in golden vessels and send them back to the throne of God. If God so much cares for your tears, then understand how great and wonderful His love for children is.
When you see the tears of love in my eyes, then know you that Jesus is there with me because of somebody, has taken over ministration, is interceding for the person before the throne of God.
