Sunday at 10 AM<\/strong> at The Universal Church<\/a> will be the day God will dry your tears. The Drying Tears<\/em><\/strong> event is for all those who, due to external or internal problems, have been in distress of soul and have had no strength nor joy in life.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

God Sees Your Tears<\/span><\/h4>\n

Tears are not just a natural response of the eye; they also reflect deep sadness or distress from within. Tears sometimes are a profound expression of powerlessness, revealing the desperation to resolve a seemingly impossible situation.<\/p>\n

There are tears of mothers distressed about their troubled children, and fathers who cannot provide for their families, teens facing bullying and depression, tears from abandonment, unresolved health issues, fears and uncertainty of tomorrow, tears from traumas.<\/p>\n

However, the Almighty assures us with His unfailing promise:<\/p>\n

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. (Psalm 126:5)<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Drying Tears<\/span><\/h4>\n

Take a step of faith with these three simple actions:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Write down<\/strong> your source of sadness or distress on a napkin and pray sincerely to God for His rescue in your life and family.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 If you cry, use the napkin to wipe your tears.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u2022 Bring the napkin<\/strong> to The Universal Church<\/a> this Sunday at 10 AM and place it on the Altar of God. <\/span>Together,<\/span> in prayer, we will cry out to God, who can transform your sorrow into joy.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Have you been crying and suffering because of the problems you have? Even if you are not shedding tears, your soul is crying. Let us see what the Lord Jesus said:”<\/em><\/p>\n

Therefore you too have grief now; but I will see you again, and your heart will rejoice, and no one is going to take your joy away from you. (John 16:22)<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“What has taken away your joy: misunderstandings, suffering, accusations, problems? The Lord Jesus said no one will take away your joy. This Sunday, we will pray for the Lord Jesus to dry away your tears\u2014meaning to stop your suffering.” (Bishop Bira Joshua)<\/em><\/p>\n

Healing of the Soul<\/h4>\n

\"Marina\"I was young; however, I had lived more as an adult. At the age of seven, I was contemplating running away when I grew up. I used to tell myself I would never get married because of the abuse I was suffering. The lowest point was taking tablets and drinking. They were just flu tablets. At that age, I didn\u2019t know what they were; I was ready just to leave. And looking at the lowest was looking at myself in the mirror and telling myself that I was ugly.<\/em><\/p>\n

God healed me and has put His Spirit inside of me, and I now value myself. I know I have worth and the Spirit of God inside of me. I don\u2019t have anger, I don\u2019t hold grudges, and I have peace inside of me. (Marina)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
