have a voice that reaches the ears of God. He explains that penitent
tears serve as powerful prayers, acting as ambassadors that bring forth

"The Lord has heard the voice of my weeping."

Psalm 6:8

Tears are not mutes. Tears have a voice. Tears

have tongues. Tears can speak. There is no

prayer compared to those which secret tears

make in the ears of God. Tears make the most

forcible entry into the ears of the great God of

heaven.

Penitent tears are undeniable ambassadors which

never return from the throne of grace without a

gracious answer. Tears are a kind of silent prayers,

which, though they say nothing--yet they obtain

pardon; and though they plead not a man's cause

--yet they obtain mercy at the hands of God.
