CHINA IN TEARS
JEREMIAH 8
You who are my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me, v18.
One of the most popular bars in the Chinese city of Nanjing has only a sofa, a few tables, and tissues, a lot of tissues. A recent World news report highlighted the city’s first “cry bar,” where customers can sit and cry for £3 per hour and it is growing in popularity. Owner Luo Jun says he opened the bar when clients of his last business said they often wanted to cry but didn’t know when or where it would be appropriate to do so.
The world has gone bonkers!
You may be stifling a cry or actually find yourself able to shout it out loud.
The Comforter is here!
Back in china, God’s people are truly in sorrow…
“Church members, lawyers and Christians visiting the family of detained Protestant Pastor Zhang Shaojie were beaten, harassed and detained by “hired thugs”, police and government agencies on 23 and 24 December 2013.
On 23 December, Pastor Cao Nan of Shenzhen, who had travelled to Nanle in Henan province to conduct a service to pray for and rally support for Pastor Zhang’s case, was dragged from his car by local police, who beat him. He was then taken to a police station where he had pepper spray sprayed into his eyes.” CSW.
How do they wipe their tears when their heart is faint?
The Comforter is here!
He is here for you!
