What Happens When Your Body Meets Your Soul?

Our body is a kind place to live.

There are great meanings in life, love, and being loved, the birth of your children, critical injuries being overcome by wellness.  I have had these several times.  The thing they most affirm is life has deep meaning.  There is one thing that continually and clearly awakens me to this deep meaning, it is the happening of weeping.  Nothing prepares one for weeping, weeping is not crying.  Weeping is the overwhelming realization of one’s soul as it encounters its Maker and at that encounter, your body becomes completely realized as to its main function, housing the soul.  When the soul meets its Maker the body responds by weeping.  It is not only or primarily in a moment of grief or sorrow but mainly in what I would call times of great ecstasy.  Those times when you are most aware of Him, of His attributes, of His actual presence in the cosmos and with you personally—His reality is overwhelming to the soul, and the body, like darkness meeting light, can only weep for it knows nothing of what is actually occurring to that which lives in it.  That is appropriate and affirms the delicate and sincere nature by which our bodies are made with the ability to weep when nothing is actually happening to it but to that which it houses.  Our body is a kind place to live.
