It has been cold and rainy - a melancholy time.
These are the times when our sorrows grow; when we begin to remember other sorrows from our life.
It is a good time to search God's Word where He will lift our heads and remind us who we are in Him!
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
2 Corinthians 1:3-7
"Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our affliction
so that we will be able to comfort those
who are in any affliction with the comfort
with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
For just as the sufferings of Christ are ours
in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant
through Christ.
But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort
and salvation; or if we are comforted,
it is for your comfort, which is effective
in the patient enduring of the same sufferings
which we also suffer; and our hope for you
is firmly grounded, knowing that as you
are partners in our sufferings,
so also you are in our comfort."
Psalm 34:15-18
"The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous,
And His ears are toward their cry for help.
The face of the Lord is against evildoers,
To eliminate the memory of them from the earth.
The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears
And rescues them from all their troubles.
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit."
Psalm 126:5-6
"Those who sow in tears shall harvest
with joyful shouting.
One who goes here and there weeping,
carrying his bag of seed,
Shall indeed come again with a shout of joy,
bringing his sheaves with him.
Romans 8:18
"For I consider that the sufferings
of this present time are not worthy
to be compared with the
glory that is to be revealed to us."
1 Peter 5:6-7
"Therefore humble yourselves under
the mighty hand of God, so that
He may exalt you at the proper time,
having cast all your anxiety on Him,
because He cares about you."
