Not today. And yet still there is a sort of comfort…as if God himself is shedding tears alongside me. As if he is telling me, I know. I understand. I am with you.
It’s never easy to hear your child scream at you, hurtful things like “I don’t care what you think, I don’t care how you feel! It’s your fault this happened…”
Oh God, I am not fit to be a mother. Better this child were born into my sister’s family; she knows how to deal with these difficult parent-child situations without losing her cool. Or someone from church who is seemingly ever-patient, ever-calm, ever-everything that I am not. I can’t do this mom thing. I can’t.
I look outside and see his tears. His way of reminding me, I see your hurt. I mourn with you. I know it’s hard. You’re not alone…you’re not alone…you’re not alone.
I step outside and receive his life-giving tears on my face, mixing with my own. Streaming down in solidarity. He doesn’t have to care; there is no earthly reason he should give ear to my particular cry out of millions and millions of sorrowful cries in the world. But he does. And today, he has sent the rain to remind me:
You’re not alone…you’re not alone…you’re not alone…
“Record my lament; put my tears in your wineskin—are they not in your record?” Psalm 56:8 (NIV)
