Misty Edwards sings "tears made my heart soft, I am ready for the return of the Lover" in a song to God.
In the Bible it says "for they still didn’t understand the significance of the miracle of the loaves. Their hearts were too hard to take it in." [Mark 6:52]
Jesus said to His disciples, "Don't you know or understand even yet? Are your hearts too hard to take it in? You have eyes, can't you see? You have ears, can't you hear?" [Mark 8:17-18]
and
‘When you hear what I say, you will not understand.
When you see what I do, you will not comprehend.
For the hearts of these people are hardened,
and their ears cannot hear,
and they have closed their eyes—
so their eyes cannot see,
and their ears cannot hear,
and their hearts cannot understand,
and they cannot turn to me
and let me heal them.’
[Mat 13:14-15]
We make the choice to harden our hearts. We can make the choice to soften them too! We can make the choice to allow ourselves to cry; to allow those tears to fall. Only we are too proud! "Oh, not me!" we say. "I am not going to cry!" Once you do let go though, you'll find it's a beautiful place. A holy place. A place where you meet God and feel His presence. So today when you hear his voice, don’t harden your hearts. [Heb 3:7-8]
Tears made my heart soft, I am ready for the return of the Lover
