“What is it about tears that should be so terrifying? the touch of God is marked by tears...deep, soul-shaking tears, weeping...it comes when that last barrier is down and you surrender yourself to health and wholeness”
“When was the last time you had a good belly-shaking-tear-jerking-snot-producing laugh?That long?”
“You may hold my tears and live as you did before, trusting your soul to no one. Or you may release my tears and accept what comes.”
“Men take care not to make women weep, for God counts their tears.”
“You must assertively hold yourself to a standard in which you keep yourself in line but don't tear others down. Holding yourself to a standard in an aggressive manner imposes your will on others, essentially tearing them down. And if you take the aggressive approach but to a weak standard, not only are y...ou tearing others down, you are being hypocritical.”
“No more weeping. I've seen enough tears from you to last a lifetime. And I'm not worth a single one.”
