What's the use of crying?

Some people have cried a lot and they know little or no joy in life. Most people laugh a little and cry a little and the rest of life is just ordinary or mundane and boring. Some of those who have cried a lot have also learnt not to cry anymore [ although they could still be crying inside]. Neither can they really laugh or their laughter seems hollow. They have learnt to be tough on the inside and they can also be tough on others. I am fearful of the day that I cannot cry anymore when I refuse to feel anymore my own pain or the pain of others. I realised that those who honestly faced their own pain, bring it before the Lord for His healing touch also experience a true liberating joy. He surely can turn my mourning into dancing. The wounded can be healed and they move on to become wounded healers. They are familiar with their own grief and they are touched by the pain of others. I think I cry quite easily and I am not ashamed. I can also laugh and leap for joy easily. There's always a song and a dance, even in the midst of the tears.
Today, are you afraid to cry? Don't. There might be a song and a dance waiting for you. Your dance partner is also your healer.
