It’s a common thing for people to say God is not moved by tears, but faith. Faith definitely pleases God, it is written (Hebrews 11:6)! BUT I serve a God who is compassionate. He hears and sees our tears and they DO move Him whether we are weeping for the state of a person or nation, or if we have become faithless ourselves. There have been many nights all I had were tears, when my faith was beyond wavering and He STILL responded. He responded to the cries of Israel in Egypt(Exodus 3:7-8)! He cannot deny Himself (2 Timothy 2:13)! God is not cold, or dead, or absent. He is with us. He sees. He hears. And He IS moved.
