Matthew 5:4

They that Mourn---Matthew 5:4
Did you know that there are thousands of mourners all over the world...?   Oh yes, they mourn over blighted hopes, over financial status, over the loss of a loved one...and many more things that could be listed, but due to room, I will let your mind thi...nk on mournful things...   There are three kinds of mourning---A natural mourning---such as has been referred to above... A sinful mourning---inordinate grief.  Refusing to be comforted... A gracious mourning---this deals with the spirit...A godly sorrow type of mourning...when we are rich and blessed with spiritual goods, we have need for nothing...but God doesn't just leave us at being blessed...He comforts too...   In Luke, the Bible talks about a woman who washed Jesus feet with her tears...Have you shed tears over your sins before you got saved??? or even mourned afterwards because you thought of where you could've been, but now you are with the Master...that is an awesome thought...or like the Prodigal Son, who mourned because he made an almost grave mistake...Let me say, when you eat with the swine...you just might be taking a chance on dying with them...but, in his shame and disgust and realizing that he needed to get up out of this state he was in and Go to his Father's House...Mourning, went there and was embraced, or comforted if you will...   When we mourn over the destituted state we are in...then we will see the Balm of Gilead...Comforted...Praise the Lord!!!  Mourn, now, always a continous experience...We have much to mourn over...the world's condition is getting no better...We need to cry out...I do not want a rock to cry out for me...Now it seems like the time that we are in a Trevailing Mourning...one that keeps us on our face before God for our lost loved ones...for the people in high places, for the leaders of our church...we mourn for each other...But, guess what---we shall be comforted...   Praise God---Joy cometh in the morning...   True comfort will not be found in temporary satisfactions of what the world gives us...it is only for a little while...but they that mourn...shall be comforted...by God, Himself...FOREVER!!!   THE COMFORT OF HEAVEN WILL COMPENSATE FOR ALL THE "MOURNING" ON EARTH...   God Bless...See More
