A Mourning Heart Comforted

He (Jesus) opened His mouth and began to teach them, saying,
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Matthew 5:2, 4 NASB1995‬

He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields, So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
Job 5:10-11 NASB1995‬

What is it that a Christian mourns?

Could it be regret for the lifestyle lived before salvation?
Could it be the times of sin now that disappoint our Father for which we seek forgiveness?
Could it be the lost that surround us today?
Could it be tribulation or persecution?
Could it be for our Savior who we long to see face to face?

Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
James 4:8-10 NASB1995‬

Christian, take your repentant mourning heart to Jesus so He may comfort you.

‭‭These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33 NASB1995‬

🌹for the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd, and will guide them to springs of the water of life; and God will wipe every tear from their eyes.”
