Have you ever read something that caused you to go back and remember feelings from the past? The other night this happened to me. I was reading something and the feelings this person was having reminded me of some similar feelings I had had. Some of the thoughts I was having were geared toward my parents, it was sad, and I started to cry. I Sometimes I know I've tried to hide my feelings about the pain my parents have caused me. As I was crying I heard the spirit say, "As long as you can cry, there is hope." I stopped and thought about this for a minute and I remembered a story about Uncle Joe's mother. She had told him once that the feeling to pray for his brother's and sister's was gone from her, but she still felt the need to pray for him. That showed there was still hope for Uncle Joe! God had not taken the desire to pray for him out of her heart. And I felt like that was what the spirit was trying to tell me. As long as I can pray and cry to Jesus about a person or situation, there is hope. It was a sweet bit of encouragement for me that night.
