Tears in a Bottle

Psalms 54-56

You keep track of all my sorrows.
You have collected all my tears in your bottle.
You have recorded each one in your book.

He must really love us to pay that kind of attention to us. When others know nothing of our sorrows, God is there to track our sorrows, collect our tears and remember them forever. He is a comfort in times of trouble, if we will turn to him. Who else would want a bottle of our tears? What would they do with them? Can they be used in some magical incantation or favorite recipe? Perhaps when our heart cries out we come so much closer to God, and he longs for that closeness enough to keep track.
