The Tear Song

Posted on March 20, 2026 by Jennifer Grace

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? John 20:15 (NKJV)

Dear one, in my last devotion I shared about how God’s Tears are Greater than our tears. I know our trials and pains feel great to each one of us, sometimes almost unbearable. But because God has experienced even more tears, He is able to comfort us. He knows how much things hurt and He is there with His loving arms to hold us and love us. I hope this Tear Song will bless you as it blessed me.

He shall come down like rain upon the grass before mowing, Like showers that water the earth. Psalm 72:6 (NKJV)

The Tear Song

If I could have tea with my very Best Friend
I’d sit on the grass by that tree
He’d tell me how He created this world
And how He came to die for me.

He’d tell me how He made each star in the sky
Each plant and creature and flittering butterfly
He’d tell me how He longed for friends and family
And so He created you and me.

Now, the earth has rules like any good school
And laws God wrote we must obey.
But the deviled deceived, His friends had to leave,
And His family all went their own way.
And His tears poured down like the rain before the mowing.
And His tears washed all our sins away.
And His tears flowed out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

He chose Abraham’s children as the apple of His eye
And bore them up on eagle’s wings.
He brought them out of slavery,
He walked them through the sea,
And He gave Moses a song to sing.

But when Moses was on the mountain
Receiving God’s commands,
God’s children were down below
Building an idol in the sand.
“Get down and stop your people!”
The Lord cried out in pain,
And Moses ran as
God’s tears began to rain.
And His tears poured down like the rain before the mowing.
And His tears washed all our sins away.
And His tears flowed out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

He gave them manna, He gave them quail,
Water from the rock to no avail,
For still they went their own way.
He gave them judges, He gave them kings,
Milk and honey and everything,
Yet still they went their own way.
He gave them prophets one by one,
They beat, stoned, killed them ‘til they were done,
And still they went their own way.

BUT, when the time was right for Him to come,
God the Father sent His only begotten Son
To teach us and show us the Way!

And His grace poured down like the rain before the mowing.
And His grace washed all our sins away.
And His grace flowed out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

Jesus came to heal our broken hearts
And set the captives free
He came to open our deaf ears
And cause the blind to see.

Jesus came to love us
And show us His Father’s plan
And He came to die a sinner’s death
Though He was a sinless man.

And His love poured down like the rain before the mowing.
And His love washed all our sins away.
And His love flowed out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

Jesus asked Peter, James, and John to stay and watch and pray
On that night when Judas came with a kiss to betray.
But the devil deceived, His friends fell asleep,
And His disciples all ran far away.

And as Jesus hung there on that tree,
The Father pretended not to see,
He turned His face to hide His pain,
As once again His tears poured down like rain.

And His tears poured down like the rain before the mowing.
And His tears washed all our sins away.
And His tears flowed out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

And His blood poured down on the fields white for harvest.
And His blood washed all our sins away.
And His blood flowed out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the heart of God.

When Jesus cried out, “It is done,” (snap fingers)
The devil thought that he had won.
A rich man’s grave, a heavy rock,
A Roman seal, guards ‘round the clock,
Yes, the devil thought that he had won.

When Jesus cried out, “It is done,” (louder this time)
The devil thought that he had won.
A rich man’s grave, a heavy rock,
A Roman seal, guards ‘round the clock,
Yes, the devil thought that he had won.

BUT (drum roll), the grave could not hold
The Creator of the earth!
Death could not win over
The Author of New Birth!
After three days in the tomb,
Jesus rose on high
And He gave all who believe
Eternal life.

And His Spirit pours down like the rain before the mowing.
And His Spirit washes all our sins away.
And His Spirit flows out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

Now Jesus choses all believers as His Church and His Bride
And bears us up on eagle’s wings.
He brings us out of slavery,
He walks us through the sea,
And He gives us a new song to sing.

And when He’s standing on Zion’s mountain
And we’re lifting our hands in praise,
We’ll cry out, “Hallelujah!”
Let us stand before You unashamed.
Help us to obey Your Word
And love our neighbors true,
And we will join the great Wedding Feast with You.
And we will join the great Tea Party with You.
And we will spend Eternity with You.

And His joy pours down like the rain before the mowing.
And His joy washes all our sins away.
And His joy flows out like a river of living water,
Flowing from the throne of God.

He gives us bread, He gives us wine,
His body and blood for Yours and mine,
And says, “Do this in remembrance of Me.”
He gives us water and a towel,
And His cleansing to make us whole,
And says, “Forgive and serve just like Me.”
He gives His promises and His power,
And His authority for the hour,
And says, “Go tell the world all about Me!”
AND, when the time is right for Him to come,
God the Father will send His risen Son
To reign in glory for now and always!

And the Son shines down on the fields white for harvest.
And the Son wipes all our tears away.
And the Son shines bright as the golden streets of heaven,
Leading to the throne of God.

When I have tea with my very Best Friend
We sit on the grass by that tree
He tells me how He created this world
And how He came to die for me.

By. Jennifer Grace with the help of Jesus, my Very Best Friend

The Story Behind the Song: I waited patiently for the Lord; And He inclined to me, And heard my cry. He also brought me up out of a horrible pit, Out of the miry clay, And set my feet upon a rock, And established my steps. He has put a new song in my mouth—Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord. Psalm 40:1-3 (NKJV)

Today’s TEA CUPP: Jesus loves you, dear one. He weeps with you. He rejoices with you. Our story is part of His story. Let’s ask Him to wash away our sins and wipe away our tears today. Pray for a Living-Water-Holy-Spirit-Pour-Down-Revival across this land!

Jesus wept. John 11:35 (NKJV)

I will open rivers in desolate heights, And fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, And the dry land springs of water. Isaiah 41:18 (NKJV)

For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, And floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring. Isaiah 44:3 (NKJV)

They are abundantly satisfied with the fullness of Your house, And You give them drink from the river of Your pleasures. For with You is the fountain of life; In Your light we see light. Psalm 36:8-9 (NKJV)

There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, The holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. Psalm 46:4 (NKJV)

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1 (NKJV)

Tea and Tears

Posted on March 6, 2026 by Jennifer Grace

Now as He drew near, He saw the city and wept over it, Luke 19:41 (NKJV)

God’s tears are greater than our tears. That thought has been on my mind a lot lately, especially today with the current turmoil surrounding Israel. In early 2020, just before our granddaughter was diagnosed with cancer and the world came down with covid, I shared an exalting devotion entitled “Greater Than.” We looked at how the Lord God is greater than all, not knowing the trials and tribulations that lay before us. Many of you went through sorrows in these recent years, too. Today I want to assure you that the Lord is still greater than all!

For I know that the Lord is great,
And our Lord is above all gods. Psalm 135:5 (NKJV)

Yes, He is still greater than all, specifically, His tears are greater than our tears. I wanted to weep about cancer and covid, about loved ones dying, about losing our home and belongings, about continuing to feel sick from mold, about wars and harm to children… Jesus cares about each one of these heartaches and has a plan to make each one right (Romans 8:28). But as He holds me in His everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:27), He shows me His tears are much greater than my tears.

Oh, that my grief were fully weighed,
And my calamity laid with it on the scales! Job 6:2 (NKJV) (God’s grief would weigh more!)

I searched His word to find out if this is true. And sure enough, it is! Consider how the Lord God made this beautiful world in Genesis 1 and 2 of our Bibles. In the very next chapter, Genesis 3, the people made in His image listened to the serpent and fell into sin. They were kicked out of the Garden of Eden and it was all downhill from there. Adam and Eve’s son Cain killed their other son Abel. The world became so evil that the Lord God told righteous Noah to build an ark to save his family. Finally, when the ark was completed, God sent the animals and closed the door, and His tears gushed and gushed from God’s eyes, as He watched His world, His beautiful world, be washed away; with only Noah and his family and animals safe in the ark.

And His tears poured down like the rain before the mowing.

And His tears washed all our sins away.

And His tears flowed out like a river of living water,

Flowing from the throne of God.

The Lord thought He would try again with Noah’s family. But still, they devised to do evil. Noah’s son Ham had a descendant named Nimrod who led people to build a tower to reach the heavens. The Lord stopped the construction by scrambling all the languages. Finally, the Lord found one person who was faithful to be His friend, a man named Abraham. So, the Lord chose Abraham’s family to be His children. But even this turned into heartbreak for our dear Lord.

You remember the amazing story of how the Lord rescued His children from Pharoah in Egypt, with ten plagues, a mighty hand and an outstretched arm? The Lord was what our grandson would call a super hero, swooping in to rescue over two million people. He continued to display His strength by parting the Red Sea and bringing water from the rock. But Abraham’s children had very short memories, grumbling, complaining and turning from God.

He chose Abraham’s children as the apple of His eye

And bore them up on eagle’s wings.

He brought them out of slavery.

He walked them through the sea.

And He gave Moses a song to sing.

Imagine, after going to such miraculous lengths to claim your bride, and she stands you up at the altar! Bible teacher Kenny Russell calls this “God’s first wedding.” When I thought about how the Lord must have felt, it brought tears to my eyes, too, and sorrow for all the times I’ve made Him sad. (But that’s why He sent Jesus to forgive us and give the whole world the invitation to be His bride).

Let’s look at that first wedding. As old-fashioned marriages often were, the children of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were promised to Father God in Genesis 12 and 15, long before they were born. Exodus 1–11 may be considered the courtship as the Lord God showed His strength to His people. Exodus 12–14 tells how He swept them off their feet, adorning them with fine jewelry. Exodus 15 was their love song, while Exodus 16–17 describes the “flowers and chocolates.” Finally, in Exodus 19–20, 23–24, we read the wedding vows, as God affirmed His covenant and Israel said, “I do” to the marriage proposal. Exodus 24:7 depicts the Bachelor party on the mountain. Then Moses went to the Courthouse at the top of the mountain to get the marriage certificate. In Exodus 26, the Groom prepared His house, giving instructions to Moses for the intricate design of the Tabernacle. Its courtyard would be for the continual remembrance of the Covenant. In Exodus 31, God gave Moses the official Wedding Covenant (10 Commandments). But in Exodus 32, the new bride couldn’t wait for her Husband, and played the harlot, building a golden calf.

But when Moses was on the mountain

Receiving God’s commands,

God’s children were down below

Building an idol in the sand.

“Get down and stop your people!”

the Lord cried out in pain,

And Moses ran as God’s tears began to rain.

“I was crushed by their adulterous heart,” the Lord described His pain years later in Ezekiel 6:9. See how the Lord is heartbroken when we go after idols instead of Him. It hurts Him so much. No wonder His tears flow down like rivers! Ezekiel 8 tells how grieved the Lord was over the abominations of the priests and elders. What they did in the dark was brought to light. We are all guilty of causing the Lord pain and tears. We must repent and turn to Jesus for forgiveness, remembering that judgment begins at the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). Dear one, Jesus willingly went to the cross for our sins, He shed tears and blood as He prayed for us in the Garden of Gethsemane, and He bore the pain of the stripes and the cross just to redeem us. Now that is love.

Jesus came to heal our broken hearts

And set the captives free.

He came to open our deaf ears

And cause the blind to see.

Jesus came to love us

And show us His Father’s plan.

And He came to die a sinner’s death

Though He was a sinless man.

One day I was driving home from one of my many doctor appointments. (I’m like the lady from the gospels who has spent all her livelihood on physicians and been healed by none.) I was so sad, feeling sick and unloved. There were some tall trees by a creek in a distant field. So, I began to sing,

If I could have tea with my very Best Friend,

I’d sit on the grass by that tree.

He’d tell me how He created this world,

And how He came to die for me.

As I approached our temporary home, drops of rain started to splatter my windshield and I continued to sing, “And His tears poured down like the rain before the mowing, and His tears washed all our sins away…” And “My Tear Song” was born. For weeks, months, and even a couple years, whenever driving alone or taking a shower, the Lord gave me another verse to this song. It is a love song. It is God’s story in the Bible. And it is a prayer and prophecy for a Living–Water–Holy–Spirit–Pour–Down–Revival across this land! Next time I will share “My Tear Song”with you. Because His tears are truly greater than all our tears. Until then, God bless you, dear sister in Christ.

With His love,

Jennifer Grace

The Lord is near to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a contrite spirit. Psalm 34:18 (NKJV)

Today’s TEA CUPP: Joseph wept, too! As I read the story of Joseph in Genesis 37–40 again this year, it struck me how often Joseph wept. So, I prayed this prayer to the Lord: “O Lord Jesus, I see You in Joseph’s story. You are the Good Shepherd of Your Father’s sheep. Your Father loves You. Your brothers hated You. Someday every knee will bow on heaven and earth to You. You reign and have dominion over all creation. Your Father sent You to help us. You came willingly. Your people conspired to kill You. They took Your robe. You were put in a tomb, but God raised You up. Blood was on Your coat. Your Father wept. And His tears poured down like the rain before the mowing. Abba Father/Dearest Lord Jesus, be glorified in Joseph’s story, in every rain storm, and in every tear cried today. Wash this world anew with your Living Water. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

They waited for me as for the rain,
And they opened their mouth wide as for the spring rain. Job 29:23 (NKJV)

You visit the earth and water it,
You greatly enrich it;
The river of God is full of water;
You provide their grain,
For so You have prepared it. Psalm 65:9 (NKJV)

Oh, that my head were waters,
And my eyes a fountain of tears,
That I might weep day and night
For the slain of the daughter of my people! Jeremiah 9:1 (NKJV)

I will make them and the places all around My hill a blessing; and I will cause showers to come down in their season; there shall be showers of blessing. Ezekiel 34:26 (NKJV)

Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” John 20:15 (NKJV)

For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Revelation 7:17 (NKJV)

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. Revelation 22:1 (NKJV)

(See also Numbers 14:1; 1Samuel 12:16–18; 2Samuel 23:4; 1Kings 8:36, 18:1, 18:41, 18:45; Job 5:10, 11:16, 28:26, 36:24–33; Psalm 1:3, 6:6, 8:1–5, 22:14, 27:4, 33:6, 65:9, 66:5–6, 68:8–9, 69:30, 77:16–20, 78:4, 98:1, 102:25, 119:136, 147:8; Proverbs 3:19–20, 14:27, 16:15; Ezekiel 20:6–8, 47; Hosea 10:12; Joel 2:23, 3:18; Zechariah 13:1; 14:8-9; Luke 7:38; John 4:10, 16:20, 16:22, 20:11; Ephesians 2:13; Titus 3:4-7; James 5:18; Revelation 14:7, 21:6)

For in the Wilderness of Zin, during the strife of the congregation, you rebelled against My command to hallow Me at the waters before their eyes.” (These are the waters of Meribah, at Kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin.) Numbers 27:14 (NKJV) Let’s remember to hallow the Lord Jesus as He pours down His Living Water!

How Long, O Lord?

Posted on January 25, 2026 by Jennifer Grace

I’ve been wanting to write this devotion for a LONG time. One of my favorite petitions is, “How long, O Lord, how long?” I’ve been so slow to put pen to paper and fingers to the keypad that I felt the Lord asking me, “How long until you write this?!”

December was a sad and busy month for us. My father-in-law passed away. He was an old Methodist farmer. A few days before he died, while lying in his nursing home bed, he said to my husband that he needed help getting through a few gates. Kent told him to go through the Jesus Gate. And a few days later he died (and he did!). My husband’s cousin officiated the memorial service and gave a beautiful message on gates. He talked about how Grandpa first went through the gate of death and then went through heaven’s gate. Everyone who believes in Jesus can go through His gate. How we long for that day!

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9 (NKJV)

Advent (the weeks leading up to Christmas) would have been a good time to share a “How long?” devotion. As we think of the children of Israel awaiting the first coming of their Messiah before He came as a baby. Four hundred years there was silence, with only the Law and the Prophets testifying of His coming. And so they waited, and asked, “How long?”

The people who walked in darkness
Have seen a great light;
Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death,
Upon them a light has shined. Isaiah 9:2 (NKJV)

Today believers also ask, “How long until you come again, O Lord?” As we look at the evil in this world, we cry out to Jesus to come and make things right. Someday He will come to claim His own and we shall all praise Him! Yet even now we praise Him as we wait.

Psalm 39:7 And now, Lord, what do I wait for? My hope is in You… Lord Jesus, I long for You! I wait for You! My hope is in You! How long, O Lord, how long until You come on the clouds in glory and every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father? HalleluYAH! I love You! Come in glory, Lord Jesus, my Hope, and the Hope of all humankind! Amen.

What else am I praying for? I’m crying “How long” for healing and a home. It’s been three long years since we lost our home and most of our belongings to mold. The mold is still in my body, causing much pain, and we are still looking for a healthy place to call home. We know God has a plan and we trust Him and thank Him for providing temporary places, yet still we ask, “How long?” I also cry “How long” until He saves loved ones and sends a Living-Water-River-of-Life-Holy-Spirit-Pour-Down-Revival across this land!

Last year I was asking the Lord, “How long until my third book is published? I am so grateful how He helped me overcome obstacles, for the gracious friends who helped, for the prayer warriors who prayed, and for Jesus’ strength. And I praise the Lord that it is finished! I hope you will read More TEA CUPP Prayers and be blessed!

Did you know God also asks, “How long?” He wonders how long until people turn to Him:

Then the Lord said to Moses: “How long will these people reject Me? And how long will they not believe Me, with all the signs which I have performed among them? Numbers 14:11 (NKJV)

How long, O you sons of men,
Will you turn my glory to shame?
How long will you love worthlessness
And seek falsehood? Selah Psalm 4:2

Then Jesus answered and said, “O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him here to Me.” Matthew 17:17 (NKJV)

(See also Exodus 10:3, 10:7, 16:28; Numbers 14:27; Joshua 18:3; 1 Kings 18:21; Jeremiah 31:22, Mark 9:19, Luke 9:41)

Here are some of my favorite How long prayers:

My soul also is greatly troubled;
But You, O Lord—how long? Psalm 6:3 (NKJV)

How long, O Lord? Will You forget me forever?
How long will You hide Your face from me?
How long shall I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart daily?
How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Psalm 13:1–2 (NKJV)

Lord, how long will You look on?
Rescue me from their destructions,
My precious life from the lions. Psalm 35:17 (NKJV)

O God, how long will the adversary reproach?
Will the enemy blaspheme Your name forever? Psalm 74:10 (NKJV)

How long, Lord?
Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your wrath burn like fire? Psalm 89:46 (NKJV)

Return, O Lord!
How long?
And have compassion on Your servants. Psalm 90:13 (NKJV)

Lord, how long will the wicked,
How long will the wicked triumph? Psalm 94:3 (NKJV)

(See and pray also: Job 7:19, 19:2; Psalm 40:1, 40:13, 40:17, 62:3, 79:5, 80:4, 82:2; Isaiah 6:11; Jeremiah 12:4; Daniel 12:6; Zechariah 1:12; Habakkuk 1:2)

Today’s TEA CUPP: Pray the Lord’s Prayer: “The Kingdom come, Thy will be done.” Read 2Peter 3. Claim all His promises as you cry out, “How long?” today.

And they cried with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Revelation 6:10 (NKJV)

Exalting with Genesis

Posted on January 13, 2026 by Jennifer Grace

And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Now I will praise the Lord.” Therefore she called his name Judah… Genesis 29:35 (NKJV)

I love reading Genesis every January, This year the names of Jacob’s sons jumped out at me. I listed them in my prayer journal, along with their meanings that are noted in my Bible’s footnotes. When I looked at the list, I realized those words describe our Lord Jesus. And since Jacob’s fourth son, Judah, means praise, I decided to use all the names of Jacob’s sons to praise our Lord.

Now I will praise the Lord! O Lord Jesus, I praise You with the names of Jacob’s sons who became the twelve tribes of Israel.

You are the God-Who-Sees-Me and sent Your only begotten Son (Reuben: See, A Son).

You are my Lord who hears and answers prayers (Simeon: Heard).

You are Jesus the Messiah, and I’m attached to You. I love You! (Levi: Attached).

You are my Praise all the day. Be glorified, O Lord (Judah: Praise).

You are the Judge of the whole earth and Your harvest is coming soon (Dan: Judge).

You are my God with Whom I’ve wrestled, as did Jacob (Naphtali: My Wrestling).

You are coming again with a troop, ten thousands of Your saints (Gad: Troop).

You have created a beautiful place for us in heaven where we will be happy (Asher: Happy).

You paid our debt on the cross, pouring out Your blood for the sins of all the world (Issachar: Wages).

You are my dwelling place, I hide under the shadow of Your wings (Zebulun: Dwelling).

You are adding more believers daily to Your Kingdom and then You are coming again (Joseph: He will add).

You are the Son of God, sitting at the Right hand of the Father (Benjamin: Son of the Right hand).

Abba Father, dearest Lord Jesus, I love and praise You! Judah! Judah! Judah!

Today’s TEA CUPP: You can do this, too! Read Genesis 29 and 30 for the names of Jacob’s sons. Make a list in your prayer journal of the names and meanings. Now write your own prayer of exaltation to the Lord! What other chapters in Genesis cause you to exalt our God? How about Genesis 1?

This people I have formed for Myself;
They shall declare My praise. Isaiah 43:21 (NKJV)

Stand up and bless the LORD your God Forever and ever! Blessed be Your glorious name, Which is exalted above all blessing and praise! Nehemiah 9:5 (NKJV)

You are my God, and I will praise You;
You are my God, I will exalt You. Psalm 119:28 (NKJV)

Listen to this delightful family exalt our Lord Jesus, here is Sounds Like Reign:

(See also Genesis 16:13, John 3:16, Isaiah 30:19, Romans 11:19, 1 Corinthians 3:23, Psalm 71:8, Psalm 96:13, 2 Timothy 4:1, Genesis 32:24, Deuteronomy 33:2, Jude 14, John 14:2, Revelation 21:4, Matthew 6:12, 1 John 1:7, Psalm 90:1, Psalm 17:8, Acts 5:14, Acts 11:24, Genesis 35:18, Mark 16:19, Acts 5:31)

but truly, as I live, all the earth shall be filled with the glory of the Lord— Numbers 14:21 (NKJV)

40 Years Ago Today

Posted on November 25, 2025 by Jennifer Grace

I run in the path of Your commands,
for You have set my heart free.
Psalm 119:32 (NKJV)

My life changed forever 40 years ago.
November 25, 1985 was a day of victory, ice and death.
This is my running story.

I was not always a runner. I was the one with the side ache walking at the tail end of the grade school PE class. I was the one who could never hope to qualify for the presidential fitness award. I was so slow! But something happened in late junior high. I discovered I had something that was needed to be a long-distance runner… perseverance. And so I left the sprinters to their fast legs and joined the distance runners. Slowly, slowly the side aches went away and I learned how to run. In high school, my coach, my team and my workout became the centerpiece of my life. I was dedicated to a fault, always running my complete workout, never cutting corners, such perfection was my religion.

When I headed to college, I wanted to continue running so I walked-on as a cross country runner at Iowa State University. Twice a day I met with my coaches and team for workouts, running dozens of miles a week. I was the slowest one. When the team did 1000 meter repeats, I would finish my 1000 meters just when they were leaving for their next 1000 meters. I would run up and down the hills crying at the end of the line, but I kept running. And the miles paid off by spring of my freshman year when I ran a 38 minute 10K! I kept on running for my coaches and my team, they were like a family to me, they were my church, until that November day of my sophomore year…

The sidewalks in Ames, Iowa were glazed with ice as my teammates and I ran our afternoon workout. We were on our own this day because our coaches and faster teammates were at the National meet in Wisconsin. We thought of them as we jogged along, mostly in the grass because the walks were so slick. After running together as a team twice a day for months, we felt a strong connection to our teammates at the National meet, even though we weren’t there. As we dutifully completed our workout in the fading light of this November afternoon, we hoped to hear news of their victory at Nationals.

Instead, what interrupted the TV shows that evening was news of a tragedy. I lived at home with my family still, and was watching TV in our basement with my brother, before diving into another evening of homework. Part way through our favorite show, newscasters broke in with a special news announcement:

“A plane has plummeted from the icy skies and crashed in a yard in Des Moines, Iowa. It was one of three planes returning with the ISU athletes after a second place finish at the National Cross Country meet.”

I ran screaming up the stairs, unable to believe such awful news. I called my teammates at the dormitory who had just heard the news also. We decided to meet at the Student Union chapel for prayer, an amazing act for a public university team. We met and cried and prayed, not knowing who was on the plane that had crashed, and me not truly understanding the ONE to whom we prayed.

The next day we were called together for a meeting with the athletic department. There we embraced our teammates who remained, and there we heard the news of who was lost. That single accident took the lives of seven dear people, and changed the lives of all those who knew them: My two coaches, three teammates, athletic trainer, and pilot were taken from this world. The grief was heart-wrenching for their families, and for those of us who lived like a family on the cross country team.

Classes were cancelled at the University for a day when a memorial service was held for the athletes. Our team marched in our gold uniforms and sat together in misery in the ISU Coliseum. One girl on our team named Dawn gave the memorial for her friend Sheryl. Before the thousands gathered there, Dawn spoke of how Sheryl was a Christian and is in heaven now, and that if Sheryl had the choice she wouldn’t come back to earth, even if she could. As I listened with tears spilling from my eyes, I just didn’t understand such faith. Why wouldn’t Sheryl want to come back?

In the days that followed I tried to continue my running workouts along the streets of Ames, Iowa, but could barely lift my legs. How could I go on without my coach and teammates? I questioned, “Why, God? Why?” Since God allowed my coaches and teammates to be taken away from me, I ran away from Him, in search of peace elsewhere, in food, in poor relationships. Yet those gave no comfort.

By the fall two years after the accident, I had wrecked both my parents’ cars, my bike was stolen, my life was a mess. One morning on my way to class, I stopped by the chapel of the church where I grew up. I got down on my knees and poured out my heart to God, asking Him to help me through the mess I had made of my life. For half an hour I prayed and prayed in that empty church. When I left the chapel, my heart was lighter, even though I did not know what God was going to do.

Soon after this prayerful episode, my roommate was invited to attend the Baptist Student Union and she brought me along. It was in the weekly testimonies and singing, that I got to know the Savior of my soul, and my forever friend, Jesus Christ. My quest was over – I learned…

Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
Acts 4:12 (NKJV)

This was truly a miracle from God. Jesus gave me the peace and comfort for which I’d been searching. He washed away all my sins and mistakes. He took my broken soul and healed me.

I traded…
My stop watch for the cross of Christ,
My will for God’s will,
My earthly coaches for a heavenly Father who will never leave me nor forsake me,
My workouts for daily devotions in God’s Word,
And so God’s Word has become my life…

Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2

…forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14

And, I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me…the task of testifying the gospel of God’s grace.
Acts 20:24

Today’s TEA CUPP: I want to invite you to make Jesus your Savior, too. If you haven’t prayed the sinner’s prayer, please pray with me right now…Dear Jesus, I want to be in your family. I want to be Your child and be washed clean from all the bad things I’ve done in my life, all the times I didn’t listen to You, all the times I went my own way. Please scrub away all my selfishness and pride and_______ and everything else I’ve done that is not of You. Fill me with Your Holy Spirit and be with me each day. Help me walk on Your straight and narrow path. I believe You are my Savior who died for my sins. I believe You rose again and are preparing a place for me in heaven. I believe You are the only Way, the only Lord, the only God. Please help me live as Your child from this moment forward. Thank you for loving me and dying for me and letting me be in Your family. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Perhaps you’d like to write out your testimony to share with others, too. I keep printed copies in my purse to give to people at the grocery store or doctor appointments. God bless you, dear one!

…Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.
2 Corinthians 6:2 (NKJV)

And it shall come to pass
That whoever calls on the name of the LORD
Shall be saved…
Joel 2:32 (NKJV)

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. John 3:16-17 (NKJV)

The Flowers Fade

Posted on October 2, 2025 by Jennifer Grace

The grass withers, the flower fades,
But the word of our God stands forever. Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV)

As we enter October and the weatherman predicts snow this weekend, I know my time caring for flowers this year is drawing to a close. One of the highlights of my summer was tending a friend’s flower garden. In May, we carefully planted each seed and seedling. In June, we covered the little plants when threats of frost continued. In July, we poured on extra water as the temperatures rose higher. And in August, we began cutting bouquets.

The “big as the moon” golden dahlias grew from starfish-shaped tubers shipped all the way from Holland. The ever-bearing cosmos shined forth with purples and pinks. The colorful zinnias towered beyond our expectations as they came from a tiny packet of Ace Hardware seeds. And the sunny greenhouse marigolds, cheerfully lined the edges, unconcerned that they were shorter than the others.

Throughout the days and weeks, I trimmed off the old blooms with a handy pair of Fisckers nippers. Even when I didn’t feel well, a trip to the garden to trim flowers always brightened my day. And as September rolled in with golden leaves on the trees, the flowers still bravely bloomed and I kept trimming. I have to say that this year, the flower garden was my second favorite time of the day, the first being my tea time with Jesus. In the garden you can forget your troubles and the troubles of this world, or you can lift each one in prayer to the Father up above. A poet wrote these lines long ago: One is nearer God’s heart in a garden than anywhere else on earth (Dorothy Frances Gurney).

Every time I trimmed the fading blooms, the verse my husband reads every week for home church went through my mind: The grass withers, the flowers fade, but the word of our God stands forever. Forever, O Lord, Your Word is settled in the heaven! Even as these flowers fade this fall, your Word is forever in the heaven. And I need not be sad with the killing frost comes, for Your Word promises there will always be winter and summer, seedtime and harvest for as long as the earth remains. (see Isaiah 40:8, Psalm 119:89, Genesis 8:22)

Today’s TEA CUPP: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your forever Word! Thank You, for Your forever promises. Thank You, Father, for creating this world with beautiful flowers. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for coming to be our Savior, to shed Your blood for our sins, to die on the cross, and to rise again to eternal life that we may live in heaven with You someday! Your Word and promises are more beautiful than these flowers You created! I love You, Lord Jesus!

He has made everything beautiful in its time… Ecclesiastes 3:11 (NKJV)

Forever, O Lord,
Your word is settled in heaven. Psalm 119:89 (NKJV)

While the earth remains,
Seedtime and harvest,
Cold and heat,
Winter and summer,
And day and night
Shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 (NKJV)

…All flesh is as grass,
And all the glory of man as the flower of the grass.
The grass withers,
And its flower falls away,
But the word of the Lord endures forever.… 1 Peter:24–25 (NKJV)

I felt as Jairus did, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live” (Mark 5:23).

More TEA CUPP Prayers is ladies spending time with Jesus each day:

“Good Morning, Jesus…I peek around the gate and see You and Your Father on thrones… at first, I take timid steps, knowing I’m welcome because of Your work and blood You shed for me on the cross… but still I’m a little shy, perhaps You might be busy… like when my earthly Daddy was in his study preparing a lecture for his biophysics students… yet he was always glad to see me, and even more so are You… and so, I run boldly across the glimmering floor to Your throne of grace and jump into Your lap and say, “Father, I love You! Thank you for sending Your Son to die for my sins and all the world… thank You for taking care of us each day… You have kept us safe and given us praying friends… we have food and clothing and beds and a roof… and we trust You for the future… thank You, dearest Father for all Your blessings… thank You Jesus for the home You are preparing for us and the healing You are doing in our bodies… thank You for Your Word… open my eyes now that I may see wonderful things in Your Word and Law…”

Celebrating Bible Moms

Posted on May 8, 2025 by Jennifer Grace

…Deborah, arose,
Arose a mother in Israel. Judges 5:7 (NKJV)

In honor of mothers and the celebration of Mother’s Day, it’s fitting that we should visit a few more Special Bible Ladies today. We can celebrate these ladies as we honor our own dear mothers, grandmothers, aunts, sisters and neighbors. 🌺

Let’s celebrate Miriam and her mother, Jochebed:

And his sister stood afar off, to know what would be done to him. Exodus 2:4 (NKJV)

When I think of Miriam, I imagine a little girl of about five or six years old, as she was often depicted in Sunday School stories. I see her clinging to the skirts of her mother, Jochebed, anxious for her baby brother Moses’ safety. You are likely familiar with the story. Pharoah had proclaimed that all the Hebrew baby boys should be drowned in the Nile River. Miriam’s mother just couldn’t do this to her little baby, so she hid him for three months. When he was too big to hide any longer, she made a basket of reeds lined with pitch. She put Moses in the basket and set him afloat in the Nile River. Big sister Miriam watched from behind a bush on the shore. When Pharoah’s daughter found baby Moses, Miriam bravely ran forward to ask if she needed a nurse for the baby (Exodus 2:7). Pharoah’s daughter accepted her offer, so Miriam ran to bring her own mother to nurse baby Moses for the Pharoah’s daughter. When Miriam and Moses and brother Aaron grew up, they never forgot their relationship. Aaron was Moses’ mouthpiece and high priest for Israel. After the crossing of the Red Sea, Miriam led the Israelites in singing and praising God. I love how Miriam, Jochebed, and the Pharoah’s daughter all stood up for LIFE of this baby who would one day lead God’s people. All three are special Bible ladies to be celebrated. (See also Numbers 26:59, Exodus 6:20, Hebrews 11:23)

Then Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took the timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances. And Miriam answered them:

“Sing to the Lord,
For He has triumphed gloriously!
The horse and its rider
He has thrown into the sea!” Exodus 15:20-21 (NKJV)

Dear Lord Jesus, help me stand up for the LIFE of babies like Miriam and her mother, Jochebed, and even like Pharoah’s daughter who adopted Moses. I claim your promise to triumph over the enemy. Help me praise You always as Miriam did.

Let’s celebrate Abigail whose wisdom saved her household:

The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his doings. He was of the house of Caleb. 1 Samuel 25:3 (NKJV)

We meet Abigail in 1 Samuel 25. Her husband, Nabal, was having a sheep-shearing party. His shepherds had returned with their sheep unharmed because of the protection of David and his men in the field. I imagine David had a heart for shepherds because he was one once, too. (And the Son of David, Jesus Christ is our Good Shepherd.) When David heard that Nabal was having a party, he sent some of his men to ask for food. But Nabal turned them away empty-handed. This made David so angry, he took 400 men to do vengeance upon Nabal. When the shepherds told Abigail, she quickly loaded donkeys with food fit for a king and took it all to David and his men. She even dismounted her own donkey and fell down before David, begging forgiveness for her household. David accepted her gift and turned back from harming Nabal. After the Lord struck Nabal and he died, David invited Abigail to be his wife. Abigail was mother to David’s second son, Chileab (1 Chronicles 3:3).

How Abigail washed David and his men’s feet was symbolic, for one day David’s seed Jesus washed the disciples’ feet and told them to go and do likewise. Abigail saved David from avenging himself (1 Samuel 25:26) and making himself a fool like Nabal. David was called to fight for Israel not himself. Vengeance belongs to the Lord. Abigail gets credit for saving David from this disaster.

Dear Lord Jesus, give me Your understanding and make me beautiful inside to shine out to others and wash feet like Abigail!

Let’s celebrate Timothy’s faithful mom and grandma:

When I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you, which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice, and I am persuaded is in you also. 2 Timothy 1:5 (NKJV)

We don’t know too much about Timothy’s mom Eunice and grandmother Lois. We first meet Timothy in Acts 16:1. Paul took Timothy in hand to be his missionary companion. Later, when writing to Timothy, Paul set out to encourage him by reminding him of the faith of his mom and grandma. Because of his grandma’s faith, his mom had faith. And because of his mom’s faith, Timothy had faith in the Lord Jesus. And you, dear one, have faith, too! Jesus said that if we have faith like a mustard seed, we can move mountains (Matthew 17:20)!

Dear Lord Jesus, give me mountain-moving faith like Timothy’s mom and grandma. May our children and grandchildren follow our example and seek You as Timothy did.

Today’s TEA CUPP: All these ladies are beautiful daughters of the King, and so are you, dear sister! Jesus loves you so much that He came to earth and died on the cross for you. Whether you are a mom, a daughter, a sister, a wife, an aunt, a grandma, a teacher, or a neighbor, you are very special to God the Father. Find a mother or friend to bless this Mother’s Day. 🌺

For the Lord takes pleasure in His people;
He will beautify the humble with salvation. Psalm 149:4 (NKJV)

A gracious woman retains honor… Proverbs 11:16 (NKJV)

Who can find a virtuous wife?
For her worth is far above rubies. Proverbs 31:10 (NKJV)

Her children rise up and call her blessed;
Her husband also, and he praises her. Proverbs 31:28 (NKJV)

…She has done what she could. Mark 14:8 (NKJV)

My Resurrection TEA

Posted on March 29, 2024 by Jennifer Grace

That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death. Philippians 3:10 (NKJV)

Many of the churches are celebrating Resurrection Sunday this weekend. It is an interesting year because Passover isn’t until April 23rd. So, those of us celebrating Passover and Yeshua (Jesus) as our Passover Lamb, won’t be celebrating His resurrection until Sunday, April 28th. But truly, we should remember Jesus’ death and resurrection every day of our lives, because it is His life and death and rising that give us life and forgiveness and hope of eternal life with Him in heaven. A dear friend of mine even takes communion every morning, thanking Yeshua for what He did on the cross. A few times she’s invited me to join her over the phone. That was special! As you celebrate Jesus’ resurrection this spring, I give you a Resurrection Tea based on Luke 24 to sip and pray. God bless you, dear sister in Christ. Jesus truly is risen indeed!

T is for Thanksgiving

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Corinthians 15:57 (NKJV)

We give You thanks, O Lord God Almighty,
The One who is and who was and who is to come,
Because You have taken Your great power and reigned. Revelation 11:17 (NKJV)

E is for Exalting

…Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people… Luke 24:19 (NKJV)

And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple praising and blessing God. Amen. Luke 24:52-53 (NKJV)

A is for Admitting

Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken! Luke 24:25 (NKJV)

And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Luke 24:38 (NKJV)

C is for Calling

He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee. Luke 24:6 (NKJV)

And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Luke 24:47-48 (NKJV)

U is for Understanding our Stories

Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. Luke 24:31 (NKJV)

And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?” Luke 24:32 (NKJV)

P is for Promises

Now as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.” Luke 24:36 (NKJV)

Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. John 5:28-29 (NKJV)

This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:39-40 (NKJV)

Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” John 11:23 (NKJV)

P is for Petitioning

But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them. Luke 24:29 (NKJV)

Today’s TEA CUPP: I love that Abba Father commanded Jesus to rise and He did! (John 10:18, 14:31). Read Luke 24 and 1Corinthians15:12-26 for an even greater picture of the resurrection. Use all these verses this week as you have TEA with Jesus: Thanking Him for salvation; exalting Him for His glory; admitting your sins and asking to be washed clean by the blood He shed for you on the cross; listening for your part in His calling; understanding your story a little more; taking comfort in claiming His promises; and finally, inviting Jesus to abide with you and your family always. Blessed Resurrection Day, dear sister in Christ!

For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. 1Corinthians 15:3-4 (NKJV)

But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1Corinthians 15:20 (NKJV)

For I know that my Redeemer lives,
And He shall stand at last on the earth;
And after my skin is destroyed, this I know,
That in my flesh I shall see God,
Whom I shall see for myself,
And my eyes shall behold, and not another.
How my heart yearns within me! Job 19:25-27 (NKJV)

Wake Up, Jesus!

Posted on February 2, 2024 by Jennifer Grace

But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” Mark 4:38 (NKJV)

I was awake since 1 a.m., up since 3 a.m., reading my Bible, praying all my prayers, yet it was still dark. I cried out, “I watch for you, Jesus, more than watchmen wait for the morning. When will You come to answer my prayers? How long until soon?”

Remembering the missionary pastor who visited our church, I cried “Wake-up, Jesus!” Pastor Samuel said we need to wake up Jesus in our churches. He is sleeping in the stern of the boat. “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” I cried again (Mark 4:38).

Do You not care my pains are extra sharp this morning? Do You not care we are still homeless over a year after leaving our moldy home? Do You not care that we spend all this time in Your Word and prayer and seek You with all our hearts and live for You each day? Wake up, Jesus!

Don’t you care what is going on in our nation and world? They are fighting your dear land of Israel! Evil people are trying to end our elections in America. They are still trying to kill people with vaccines. “Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord? Arise! Do not cast us off forever” (Psalm 44:23).

…Awake to help me, and behold!
You therefore, O Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel,
Awake to punish all the nations;
Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors… Psalm 59:4-5 (NKJV)

Babies are still dying everyday from abortion, families are falling apart, schools are teaching evil subjects. Innocent people are being trafficked. Churches are going against Your Word. Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, And do not be still, O God! (Psalm 83:1)

I cry again, “Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, You who lead Joseph like a flock; You who dwell between the cherubim, shine forth! (Psalm 80:1) Awake, awake, put on strength,
O arm of the Lord! Awake as in the ancient days,In the generations of old. Are You not the arm that cut Rahab apart, And wounded the serpent? (Isaiah 51:9)

Then I decree, it will be like in Isaiah 33 and Psalm 78: Then the Lord awoke as from sleep, Like a mighty man who shouts because of wine (Psalm 78:65). “Now I will rise,” says the Lord; “Now I will be exalted, Now I will lift Myself up (Isaiah 33:10).

Amen and Amen! Let it be so! Come, Lord Jesus, Come!

Today’s TEA CUPP: Wake up Jesus with your prayers! Read the story of Jesus asleep on the boat in Mark 4:35-41 and Psalm 107:23-32. Claim God’s promise in Psalm 121:4 that He will never sleep again.

Behold, He who keeps Israel
Shall neither slumber nor sleep. Psalm 121:4 (NKJV)

P.S. Dear one, God who created the sea can calm any storm on it. And God who created you and me can calm any storm in our lives, too.

Stir up Yourself, and awake to my vindication,
To my cause, my God and my Lord. Psalm 35:23 (NKJV)

Awake! Why do You sleep, O Lord?
Arise! Do not cast us off forever. Psalm 44:23 (NKJV)

The Lord on high is mightier
Than the noise of many waters,
Than the mighty waves of the sea. Psalm 93:4 (NKJV)

The sea is His, for He made it;
And His hands formed the dry land. Psalm 95:5 (NKJV)

Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;
Let the sea roar, and all its fullness. Psalm 96:11 (NKJV)

I will both lie down in peace, and sleep;
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8 (NKJV)

When you lie down, you will not be afraid;
Yes, you will lie down and your sleep will be sweet. Proverbs 3:24 (NKJV)
