Blessed Are They That Mourn
Tears are the pathway to God's heart. God is near to the broken hearted. We are blessed when we mourn because the Lord comforts us by coming to us. When we learn humility we are yoked to Jesus. When we humble ourselves we are near to God.

God is near to the broken heart
Ps. 34:15-18 15The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. 18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Humility is weeping before God
Jam. 4:7 7Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and yourjoy to heaviness. 10Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
