I think there are three kinds of tears:
- tears of sorrow;
- tears of gratitude;
- tears of joy.
I’m not convinced the third can be experienced without the first two, but I am convinced if we seek Him with the first we’ll find the others soon after.
“…weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.” — Psalm 30:5b
