I Used To Think I Needed To Get It Together…

There was a time when I would start crying during worship and immediately think:

“I need to get it together.”

I’d wipe my tears, try to compose myself, and hope nobody noticed.

But over time, I’ve learned something.

Sometimes those tears aren’t weakness.

Sometimes they’re the result of being deeply moved by the presence of God.

Worship has a way of softening the places in our hearts that we’ve tried to keep guarded.

It reminds us of God’s goodness, His faithfulness, His mercy, and how much we need Him.

And honestly?

God wrecks me over and over again.

He convicts me.

He heals me.

He comforts me.

He reminds me that I’m loved.

So if tears come during worship now, I don’t fight them the way I used to.

I simply let God do what He wants to do in my heart.

❤️ Does anyone else experience this?

What do you think it means when you cry during worship?

I’d love to hear your thoughts below.
