“God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”Matthew 5:4 NLT
We have all experienced mourning, and it’s associated grief. Grief hurts! Grief is a soul pain. Each time I experience grief I sense a knife-blade into my heart. Tears ensue! I run to the Lord for comfort! He is the best comforter!
I have a dear friend going through this right now. A best friend of hers died this week. Her friend had struggled with stroke after stroke. Although my friend knew that either way she would be blessed, as she knew the Lord, losing the touch and sight of a dear one hurts. There is also the pain of watching the family grieve.
We can comfort our friends, but ultimately, the Holy Spirit does the best job. He is a succor in grief like none other. While we still experience the pain, His loving touch is there for us. His presence is tangible in these times. Thank You Holy Spirit! Amen!
