Are you a church crier?

[hairlove]

Do you tend to cry during church?

I do! I don't mean to but I guess sometimes I just feel a sense of joy, peace, happiness, sadness, empathy, inspiration whatever. I don't even know most of the time but I just find myself crying.

Today, I noticed in front of me a man and a woman were both criers so I didn't feel sooo bad.

[Ramya]

I'm not a crier but I'm not an outwardly emotional person either.

That's what's funny - neither am I!

[mrsjones1]

Yep..I start at praise and worship and usually weap during the entire service.

[topsyturvy86]

Not really but I have sometimes during worship. When I feel it coming, I try to control/stop it 'cos I don't want anyone to notice.

I do the exact same thing! Luckily, I've been wearing my glasses lately.

[mrselle]

Yep, I'm definitely a church crier. Hearing another person's testimony, a song, seeing someone praise God, seeing someone get their breakthrough....I'll start to cry. Just last week the choir was singing an upbeat song, God whispered something to me and I started to cry. I've always been like that. I try to hold it in, but sometimes I just can't.

lol! I know what you mean .. usually my sensitivity to the Spirit is magnified in a corporate setting and I tear up a lot over what mrselle mentioned - hearing a testimony, seeing God at work in the lives of others, just thinking of the goodness of Jesus. Nobody I know would characterize me as emotional at all - I'm sure they'd be surprised how much of a baby I am in church lol.

I need to start carrying tissues in my purse and stop frontin :lachen:

[ClassicChic]

I do sometimes. It is a quiet cry.

[FoxyScholar]

Yeah... TODAY! I wasn't in church TWO MINUTES and I was crying.... One of the ministers who had not seen me in a while bee-lined for me when she saw me sitting in the back. She started talking/ministering to me w/encouraging words and I was tearing up then the tears started falling and I REALLY did not want that to happen because I was having an EXCELLENT make-up day. Her words brought much comfort because I struggled to get to church today.

I tend to cry in church when I am really wounded or experiencing deep heartache and I usually cry during the worship and I know that's the Lord softening/soothing my heart/soul. I have cried during certain praise reports/testimonies, esp. when I know the person personally or it is a very, very miraculous situation.

One time when I first got saved and I was singing in the choir and I weeped continually during the entire service when I was sitting in the choir stand. The pastor heard me during the whole service (this was when my church was much smaller than it is now). When I went back to evening service, the pastor gave me a prophetic word/word of exhortation in front of the whole church.

Wow - that was pretty sweet of your pastor!

I know what you mean bout the makeup! But as they say, I guess sometimes God just shows up makeup or not. :lachen:

Thank you for sharing. :yep:

The boo hoo queen checking in...On Mother's day the youth ministry wrote poems for their mothers, and my son got up and read his, told me he loves me, and gave me a hug and a kiss. I cried like a baby because his poem was so beautiful. Everybody in the church was crying that day, including DH. He claims it was his allergies and not tears. :look:

In my experience, allergies typically flare up on Mother's Day and Father's Day. :look:

L0l!! I tear up at the exact same things and also when I have a heavy heart. I'm a sensitive and emotional person though so I guess it wouldn't suprise anyone.

[Highly Favored8]

YES, I am a crier in Church and my DS looks at me and then he starts crying. I try to hold back my tears however, it all just comes out. I always keep a box of tissues under my pew. Also, on Mother's Day boy did I cry then after church another person I know metioned " I saw you crying today" I felt so embrassed. For what? I am not going to feel embrassed by crying. It felt very good and it was a release.

[prettyfaceANB]

Depends on what I am going through personally. I am not a very emotional individual.

[Amour]

I voted a few times a month :yep:

[Laela]

I cry a few times a month, depending on what's going on with me and how God works on me in Service... usually when the Spirit moves; but they're usually tears of joy. :)

I'm not in "people bondage" so if I fall out and pass out, God bless me.. I don't care who is watching. lol

[Laela]

FoxyScholar, I feel you on when God moves on you... Refraining from Crying is right up there with the promotion among some Christians of self-control when Spirit is moving, which makes absolutely no sense...the whole idea is to let go and let God have his way. He never will make a fool of us, though we may look like "fools" in the eyes of others. I'd rather please God.

Amen I'm feeling you on that!!:yep:
