Blessed Are We

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matthew 5:4

     The holy arms of Jesus will wrap themselves around us as we mourn. 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? 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

     Rest from our burdens. Rest from our weariness. Rest for our souls. Hope in the depths of darkness. 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.

In Jesus name,

Amen
