I am a loving Christian girl and I have always wondered one question.....you know how the Bible says in heaven you can't cry simply because you have no reason to cry.....Well I've been wondering....Can you cry tears of joy in heaven? The book says you wont show sadness but what about happy tears? Please tell me what you think the answer is to this question, or give me a few verses to look at that might be helpful. I would REALLY appreciate it! God bless :)

So since our souls are spirit and not made of any mortal material, they do not have the need for some of those bodily functions. Like you never have to eat, you will never thirst. You also never have to sleep. You also do not cry. It doesnt mean that you cant choose to make your self do it, but it won't happen automatically due to a feeling of joy or sadness. Although I understand that we aren't going to feel sadness either. If I were you, I would get used to asking Straight to Holy Spirit if it is relevant for you to know or not and get used to talking to Spirit because one day He'll answer you as he did for me and from then on everything I did or believed has been what Spirit tells me. Its the best way to go becasue the lesson He may have for you to learn might have to be told and learned in a totally different way than someone else so that you both can get it and understand.

But from a "Man on the street" perspective, I can't see why you wouldn't cry tears of joy. Crying is usually reserved as a term for crying out of sadness. And The reference is probably to sadness.
