Weeping Willow Tree
Do you think that God created this tree as a visual reminder of how He cries for us?
The drooping arms of the tree convey beauty, majesty and despair all at the same time.
Which I think is true of God.
He weeps for us (and sometimes because of us).
For our heartaches, for our pain caused by broken people in a broken world.
The tree is so regal and yet all I feel when I look at it is empathy.
Empathy from God for me.
I just want to sit underneath the tree and be covered by it.
Covered by the love of my Father who knows my heart- knows my pain -
and weeps for me.
