Matthew 5:4
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. This verse speaks to the profound empathy and compassion of God, who promises solace to those in deep sorrow. Jesus’ words offer hope to the grieving, reminding them that their pain is not ignored. Mourning, whether for personal loss or the brokenness of the world, opens us to God’s comfort in ways we may not experience otherwise. This promise assures us that God is close to the brokenhearted and that He will provide relief and peace to those who seek Him. Mourning becomes a pathway to experiencing the deep love and blessing that God offers, revealing His heart for His people in their most vulnerable moments. In sorrow, we draw near to a compassionate God who holds us, giving us strength and restoring hope through His unending presence. Our grief, met by His grace, transforms us and allows us to discover the comfort that only He can provide.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
2 Corinthians 1:4
Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
