The LORD is nigh unto them that are of
a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Psalm 34:18
"Tears are not in every case evidences of
weakness. In order for you to build up a character which is symmetrical in the
sight of a pure and holy God you must begin at the foundation. The heart must be
broken before God, and true repentance for sin must be shown."
