Matthew 5:4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Thought 1:The second of the beautitudes,our Lord says something very strange. Blessed are those who mourn.How did He relate Blessing and weeping?CAN WE EVER IMAGINE how blessing and weeping will go together,when most of the modern day preachers promise”bed of roses” as a sign for blessing?Now mourning comes from earth,where as comfort comes from Heaven.The comfort from heaven exceeds and is so satisfying compared to the hurts in the world and because of the Heavenly comfort we receive,the Lord says we are blessed.Are you burdened by hurts and worries.Open your heart to heaven and believe me,you will be comforted and that will bring a smile back to your face
Thought 2:Now situations that we face has necessarily a doorway to receive Heavenly comfort.St paul adds this in 2 cor 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, 4who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
Comfort comes from God and we need to open up.Remember when Hagar cried,God opened a way,when Israelites moarned in their slavery God raised up Moses,When Hannah cried,God raised Samuel.God values your tears and those are precious seeds to receive heavenly comfort and also a supernatural blessing.
Introspection
1)What is your response when something that hurts happen to you?Do you cry in front of God’s presence or do you grumble or complain
2)Have you ever realized that God values your tears?
Application
1)When hurt or disturbed take time to sit at his feet,receive His comfort,take control over the situation.
2)Take time to comfort others who are encountering the same situation you are facing.His comfort is for you to comfort others.Understand you are blessed because God values your tears.
