  joy.
• When? Cry over sin, suffering, selfishness
• Were tired of the tears
• Gal 68-9 For he that soweth to his flesh shall
  of the flesh reap corruption but he that soweth
  to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
  everlasting. And let us not be weary in well
  doing for in due season we shall reap, if we
  faint not.

Revelation 213-5

• And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
  Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he
  will dwell with them, and they shall be his
  people, and God himself shall be with them, and
  be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears
  from their eyes and there shall be no more
  death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall
  there be any more pain for the former things are
  passed away. And he that sat upon the throne
  said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said
  unto me, Write for these words are true and
  faithful.
