Crying – All Hope Lost?

No!

Crying doesn’t mean all hope is lost.

Remember, our Blessed Saviour also “cried” when “Lazarus died” but a few moments later “raised Lazarus back to life” (who was already dead for about 3 days in a tomb).

So, crying shows His Love and after that an overflowing of His Grace & Power is to be expected to “solve” the “reason for sorrow itself” (another meaning to the ‘Lazarus story from the perspective of tears’).
