Tears

"Mourning is one of the deepest expressions of pure love. It is a natural response in complete accord with divine commandment: "Thou shalt live together in love, insomuch that thou shalt weep for the loss of them that die."  Moreover, we can't fully appreciate joyful reunions later without tearful separations now. The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life." 

Russell M. Nelson

As our understanding increases, we realize that tears of sorrow can be exquisitely beautiful—and that they ultimately give way to tears of eternal joy."

Glenn L. Pace

"The irony of the Atonement is that it is infinite and eternal, yet it is applied individually, one person at a time.  There is a level at which the child's hymn 'I Am a Child of God' harmonizes with the music of eternity. We are children of God. Each one of us is precious to the point of bringing the Lord God Almighty to a fulness of joy if we are faithful, or to tears if we are not."  

  M. Russell Ballard

"To all, wherever you are–to you who need hope, to you who need comfort, to you who are unhappy, to you who need direction and need to feel a purpose in your lives–my dear friends, I encourage you, I urge you to bow your heads or drop to your knees! In your own words, thank your Heavenly Father for His Son's atoning sacrifice for you and for all the blessings He has given you. Tears will moisten your eyes, and the warmth of the Spirit will come into your heart. Then talk to the Lord, asking for comfort, direction, and understanding. As you open your mind and heart to feel the spirit, the Lord in His own time and in His own way will give you the instructions which will bless your life."

D. Rex Gerratt

"…In the celestial glory, we are told that '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.' Then faith and hope will replace heartache, disappointment, torment, anguish, and despair, and the Lord will give us strength, as Mormon says, that we 'should suffer no manner of afflictions, save it were swallowed up in the joy of Christ.'"

James E. Faust
