Palavras de consolo
A Bíblia é repleta de palavras de consolo para os aflitos. Deus está perto dos que sofrem e promete enxugar toda lágrima, renovar a esperança e restaurar o coração partido.
Deus está conosco
O Senhor é refúgio e fortaleza. Mesmo no vale da sombra da morte, não precisamos temer — Ele está ao nosso lado para nos consolar.
He that is innocent in his hands and pure in his heart; who has not lifted up his soul to vanity, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
A Psalm of David.
To thee, O Lord, have I cried; my God, be not silent toward me: lest thou be silent toward me, and so I should be likened to them that go down to the pit.
And he will judge the world in righteousness, he will judge the nations in uprightness.
Give them according to their works, and according to the wickedness of their devices: give them according to the works of their hands; render their recompence unto them. Because they have not attended to the works of the Lord, even to the works of his hands, thou shalt pull them down, and shalt not build them up.
And he shall continue as long as the sun, and before the moon for ever.
Consolação e esperança
Deus consola os humildes e exalta os abatidos. Ele nunca nos desamparará.
And the Lord that goes with thee shall not forsake thee nor abandon thee; fear not, neither be afraid.
Ye shall not be afraid of them, because the Lord our God himself shall fight for you.
Lo! I have commanded thee; be strong and courageous, be not cowardly nor fearful, for the Lord thy God is with thee in all places whither thou goest.
who exalts the lowly, and raises up them that are lost:
Descanso e renovação
Bem-aventurados os que choram, pois serão consolados. A Bíblia nos convida a descansar nos braços do Pai e encontrar paz para a alma.
For if thou rest, thou shalt be undismayed; and if thou sleep, thou shalt slumber sweetly.
To all things there is a time, and a season for every matter under heaven. A time of birth, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what has been planted; a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to pull down, and a time to build up; a time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to lament, and a time to dance; a time to throw stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to abstain from embracing; a time to seek, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away; a time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to be silent, and a time to speak; a time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
