Description
The word "weeping" or "to weep", or in the past tense, "wept" is mentioned 64 times in the Bible! Additionally, there are 240 times this word occurs in the Thesaurus (my second favorite book)! What is it about this word that draws in our complete attention and even evokes emotion in most of us? The idea is that this is not just weak emotion, but suggests emotion that is so strong, that involves the whole body and the whole heart in either weeping tears of sorrow, or tears of joy. In other words, our admiration or appreciation for a full commitment of intensity of emotion to be so strong as to "drench" or "soak" or even "immerse" one in it, a kind of "All in it, or nothing" approach is duly noted in our Human Nature!
