Blessed
are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4
The holy arms of
Jesus will wrap themselves around us when we mourn. Death and sorrow will find
us throughout our lives. His comfort is beyond this earth. His comfort is
supernatural, raising us above our human struggles with grief. We can’t do it
on our own.
Our earthly minds
and bodies find it difficult to manage a deep loss. What will we do? How will
we take our next step? How do we cope? What will life look like without
her/him? Jesus wept for His good friend. He went through deep agony. He understands
our earthly sorrow, and He knows the way through.
Count on Him. Lean
on Him. He will ease our burdens with His unconditional love.
Come to
me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
The Lord
is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm
34:18
Rest from our
burdens. Rest from our weariness. Rest for our souls. Hope in the depths of
darkness. He is close. Blessed are we.
Lord,
We praise You for the ways You comfort us and ease the burdens
of life. They are heaven-sent and we look to You. Comfort those in grief today.
In Jesus name,
Amen
