There's an idea that Neal Lozano mentions that's based on an image from The Passion of The Christ, when the camera zooms out from above the cross and shows the Father's eye shedding one lone tear, which becomes a downpour on earth. Neal suggests that, in eternity, that tear was not shed only at the death of the eternal Son, but at the fall of Adam, and indeed at every sin of each of us. His heart breaks for us, over our separation from him.
He goes on to say that the image of the Father's broken heart is the Son's broken body on the cross. But he loves us so much that he chose to bear that heartbreak for us, before he created us, even knowing that we would separate ourselves from him.
