This is a weird question but have any of you ever cried while reading the Bible? Not full bawling but the tears come and you have no idea why.
Crying and the Bible

I definetely have! Sometimes I am moved so much by how much God loves me that I cry. Or when I read about the sorrows, perseverance, and persecution of Jesus and the early church I may cry.
Indeed... 
God's Word reaches deep and I'm always brought to tears when a Word comes from the Lord that relates to what I'm going through or need to minister to someone else. I just cry tears of joy because God is reassuring me that He is with me, that He has heard my most deepest and piercing thoughts, that He has my desires in His heart and shared them with me.
I remember reading the entire Bible from Genesis to Revelation. I had just finished reading the end of the Old Testament and as I began reading the first chapter of Matthew, it was listing all of the 'begats' and I began to cry. You see, I had been so involved with the members of history in the Old Testament, I felt as if I 'knew' them. And each time I read one of their names in Matthew, I cried, because I 'knew' them one by one. And I finally 'understood' what the begats were all about.... the lineage of Jesus.
I'm feeling the joy of it even as I'm typing this post. I love God's Word so much. It's me and to read it most definitely brings tears of love for the one and only God who rules and reigns forever and ever....

Whenever I read the words, "I thirst".... the words that Jesus struggled to utter as He hung on the Cross... I cry. I can 'feel' the tears now as I think about them.
How cruel they were to Him, how cruel. Do you know that the sponge that they offered up to Jesus that was dipped into the vinegar was a 'toilet sponge'? Oh yes... a nasty used and rotten toilet sponge; the very sponge that was used as bathroom tissue, is what they pushed into the face of Jesus... Is is any small wonder that He refused it?
Praise God for all that He suffered just for us. Praise His life and His love.
One cannot help but cry knowing so great a love has been bestowed upon us.

Yes I have cried. I always shed a tear whenever I read the new testament (the crucifixion).

I'm a mess 
when I read the Word.
His Holy Spirit always reveal what I need to know when I read and I'm always in awe of what He has to say to my heart....it breaks me down every time....I do have to hold back the tears when I'm ministering though...that wouldn't be good, no one would understand a word I said
