The heart knoweth its own sorrow and there are times when, like David, it is comforting to think that our tears are put in a bottle and not one of them forgotten by the one who leads us in paths of sorrow.

About This Quote

When David was in the midst of his great tribulation, he wrote to the Lord in Psalms 116:15-16, "When I cry out in the night, then hear Thou my voice. When my heart is overwhelmed, then do Thou understand my thought. For Thou hast helped me, and comforted me." The same can be said when we are in the midst of our problems. When our hearts are overwhelmed with sorrow and pain, God understands it all.
