i don't cry during correction. i feel it's a cheap shot because i know if i cry, it tugs on all His compassion points. It can't help but distract Him. Male instinct screams for them to soothe when they see tears. No good for me o need correction, then cause more resentment because He feels i am tugging heartstrings! my feelings on it aside... If He felt i was manipulating via tears, He would end the discussion until i was in control of myself and accepting correction with my rational brain. It's not as if crying is a safe-word to get out of correction, but He sees it as futile to be teaching the unteachable. And for sure, if i'm that emotional over something, i'm probably not in my most teachable mode. (This is verbal correction, not a physical punishment, and i think that might be a different case altogether.) Now after, -- sometimes, W/we B/both cry if something big has been resolved. An item where He feels some culpability in it, or a sense that i have come to a new level of understanding. my "lightbulb moments" are very intense and satisfying for U/us B/oth, so yeah, tears happen. :: looks both ways ::; nobody saw me say that :: shhhh
