Matthew 5:4 Beatitude #2
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
Inspired Thots:
Mourning is quite a strong word for sadness… it is grief.
a) What in my life can be so great a sadness? It is usually used for the loss of a loved one. The only loved one I have lost so far in my life is my grandmother, whom I was very close to. Indeed TIME has eased the grief; I don’t mourn for her so much though I am reminded of her.
b) 2 Cor 2:17 calls for us to comfort those who mourn, (in grief) that they may not be overwhelmed by grief. God is good… He always wants to restore us to wellness.
c) What grieves me now? Not so much the loss of MY loved ones.. it is God’s loved ones ~ those who are lost without Jesus. I need to pray for their salvation. Jeremiah 8:21 shares how God’s heart is crushed because His people are crushed. He, the Comforter, is in sorrow.
d) When I am in sorrow, God is my Comforter. But when God is in sorrow, who is HIS comforter? Help me Lord to minister to you…
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
