Bear fruit in keeping with repentance

Tears devoid of resolution are empty. Sentiment alone does not produce the fruit of love. Challenge your tears when they fail to challenge your hands to reach out. Challenge those tears that feed the hungry but not in practice. Challenge those tears that promise change but change nothing to keep the promise alive. Rebuke those tears that fall so easy but dry up easier when once the channel has been changed. From where doth your tears flow, the eye or heart? The answer will be found in whether your tears solidify in works of charity towards God, others, self or merely bring warmth to your cheeks. Remember our cheeks were not made for warmth but for turning so that the love of Christ could subdue the weakness of our flesh.
