If A Person Who Cries a Lot on Small Things, It Means... | C.s. Lewis
In today’s message, inspired by the writings of C.S. Lewis and grounded in biblical wisdom, we'll explore a topic that often goes unnoticed—emotional sensitivity and what it means when someone cries a lot, even over seemingly small things.
Many people view excessive tears as a weakness, but what if I told you that there’s a deeper spiritual meaning behind it? The Bible often highlights the importance of emotions in our spiritual journey. When we see someone who sheds tears easily, whether it's over a kind word, a sad story, or the struggles of another, it tells us something profound about their heart.
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.” This scripture reveals that God is near to those who feel deeply. People who cry a lot often have a heightened sense of empathy and compassion. They feel the world’s joys and pains more intensely than others, which is a reflection of God’s own heart. When Jesus saw the suffering of others, He was moved with compassion and wept, as we see in John 11:35, the shortest yet deeply powerful verse in the Bible: “Jesus wept.”
If you are someone who sheds tears easily, or you know someone who does, it is not a sign of weakness. Rather, it is a sign of a heart that has been touched by God’s spirit. In a world that often values stoicism and emotional control, being someone who cries easily is an indication of a tender heart that reflects the love and compassion of Christ.
C.S. Lewis once wrote, “Crying is all right in its way while it lasts. But you have to stop sooner or later, and then you still have to decide what to do.” This means that while crying is natural and even necessary, it’s what we do with those emotions that defines us. Those who cry on small things often feel a divine burden for others. They might be the first to lend a hand, offer a prayer, or provide comfort. God has given them a special gift—the gift of a compassionate spirit.
However, it is essential to understand that while emotional sensitivity is a beautiful gift, it must be balanced with trust in God. Proverbs 3:5-6 tells us, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.” This is a reminder that while our emotions guide us to empathy and compassion, we must anchor ourselves in faith. Our tears should lead us to prayer, our compassion to action, and our sorrows to deeper trust in God’s plans.
So, what does it mean if a person cries a lot over small things? It means they are uniquely equipped by God to carry love and empathy into the world. They are the quiet warriors who mourn with those who mourn and rejoice with those who rejoice, as Romans 12:15 teaches. Their tears are not signs of fragility but of strength, showing that they possess a heart molded by the hands of the Creator Himself.
If you resonate with this message or know someone who does, embrace that sensitivity. Pray for wisdom on how to channel it for God’s glory. Your tears are not wasted; they are seen and treasured by God.
Before we end, I encourage you to reflect on the beauty of your emotions and see them as a gift that can be used for good. And remember, the world needs more hearts that are willing to feel deeply and act justly.
