sorrow

"Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need."

Hebrews 4:16

"Thou hast turned my mourning into dancing; Thou hast loosed my sackcloth and girded me with gladness"

Psalm 30:1

Sorrow is part of life. Everyone goes through a period of sorrow and mourning. Consequently, spiritual breakthrough happens when we begin to see beyond the pain and catch the heart of God: when we attain this spiritual condition, we begin to be grieved by the same things which sadden God - sin and the lost. Our comfort only returns when we are moved enough to do something about the sin in our own lives and begin to reach out to the lost. This is the kind of mourning that turns to joy.

REFLECTION:

When we start grieving for the things that concern God that means that we have, somehow, caught the essence of God's heart. We only get comforted when we start looking beyond our hurts and pains. Just like Jesus who gave His life for us in calvary. Didn't He leave the comforts of heaven just so He could reach out to us, the lost ones. I wanna have that kind of love and compassion for the losts. To reach out to them despite discomforts and pains.

I once was lost but then He found me, that's why i wanna share this experience with those people who are not aware that our God is real and alive. And that you could fully experience Him in this life and not just in the life after.

As a Christian, I am commissioned by God to do that. No ifs, no buts. I pray that i will have the courage and the passion to obey His command to go and share the good news.

Someone asked me this, "What it is that you have that you want to share with the people around you, especially your loved ones?" And without a doubt i answered, " JESUS"
