I often wondered, when God cried what it would be like. Then I read a passage in the book of Genesis and wham! It hit me; God had seen how evil the earth was and how man’s heart was wicked, how his imagination had perverted what God had intended.

Then God said, He would flood the earth. One teardrop from God could flood the earth. Its rain could have lasted forever.

Then I thought, what made God stop crying, He for 120 years, until the flood, strived to call men to repentance and righteousness. Yet, did they listen? No.

In the days of Noah, after the rains, came a covenant that God made to us all, that He would no longer flood the earth, and the sign was a rainbow. Can you see the rainbow? On the other hand, do you refuse to see the ends of time? Has your hearts become so perverted, that even what can be seen has an explanation?

Noah warned the people to repent, that he was building a boat that God was going to flood the earth, to destroy all of the wickedness that dwelled. God’s ways are no different today. His judgment still can be executed, how He chooses.

Once again God is crying, why can’t we see beyond the rains and hear what God’s heart is saying today, just look at the many hurricanes that have struck the earth and have destroyed all what man has built, including his imaginations that still pervert the ways of God today.
