Comfort by the King

4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.

Matthew 5:4



There have been times in my life when I have experienced deep mourning as a result of my path somehow crossing the path of this fallen world and unfortunately having to live with the consequences of wrong choices by others. I can remember one time in particular as a young man in my late teens when I had to experience something that happened in my family that for a million years I would never have imagined could have happened to anyone related to me. I can remember feeling numb and not being able to do anything else but to cry out to God with a question of “why”. That question has never been answered, however, in the midst of my sorrow and emptiness I also experienced a calmness and peace that could not be explained as it was indeed the ever so sweet comforting of my Lord and Savior in the midst of a terrible storm. You may not ever understand why God has allowed certain things to happen in your life until you are one day on the other side with Him where He will make all things clear; however, know today that you are not alone and that God loves you more than you could ever imagine and He will hold you in His arms of love and He will catch every tear that you cry on this earth until that great day when all things will be made new and the pain and hurt of this world we will be gone, forever. Jump into His arms of love today and they will never let you go!
