Mourning


Mourning, considered a blessing? Yes.


How can something hard be considered a blessing? How can God, being silent, be considered a blessing? 

At first glance those aren't blessings. Or so we think. We think that the Lord is supposed to always speak, to tell us what to do all the time. That may be our misconception. 

When the Lord isn't speaking, that can be viewed, in our eyes, as something to mourn. 

What we may forget is that the Lord didn't tell us to quit seeking Him.

Ah, I cry as the realization hits me.



Matthew 5:4

New International Version (NIV)

4 Blessed are those who mourn,
   for they will be comforted.


So simply, Lord, you are amazing.
