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.
4 Also -- when I walk in a valley of death-shade, I fear no evil, for Thou [art] with me, Thy rod and Thy staff -- they comfort me.
1 By David. Jehovah [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? Jehovah [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
9 And Jehovah is a tower for the bruised, A tower for times of adversity.
4 One [thing] I asked of Jehovah -- it I seek. My dwelling in the house of Jehovah, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of Jehovah, And to inquire in His temple.5 For He hideth me in a tabernacle in the day of evil, He hideth me in a secret place of His tent, On a rock he raiseth me up.
5 For Thou [art] my hope, O Lord Jehovah, My trust from my youth.
Consolação e esperança
Deus consola os humildes e exalta os abatidos. Ele nunca nos desamparará.
8 and Jehovah [is] He who is going before thee, He himself is with thee; He doth not fail thee nor forsake thee; fear not, nor be affrighted.
22 fear them not, for Jehovah your God, He is fighting for you.
9 Have not I commanded thee? be strong and courageous; be not terrified nor affrighted, for with thee [is] Jehovah thy God in every [place] whither thou goest.
11 To set the low on a high place, And the mourners have been high [in] safety.
16 and may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and our God and Father, who did love us, and did give comfort age-during, and good hope in grace,
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.
4 Happy the mourning -- because they shall be comforted.
6 be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,7 all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.
17 Do with me a sign for good, And those hating me see and are ashamed, For Thou, O Jehovah, hast helped me, Yea, Thou hast comforted me!
76 Let, I pray Thee, Thy kindness be to comfort me, According to Thy saying to Thy servant.
24 If thou liest down, thou art not afraid, Yea, thou hast lain down, And sweet hath been thy sleep.
1 To everything -- a season, and a time to every delight under the heavens:2 A time to bring forth, And a time to die. A time to plant, And a time to eradicate the planted.3 A time to slay, And a time to heal, A time to break down, And a time to build up.4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh. A time to mourn, And a time to skip.5 A time to cast away stones, And a time to heap up stones. A time to embrace, And a time to be far from embracing.6 A time to seek, And a time to destroy. A time to keep, And a time to cast away.7 A time to rend, And a time to sew. A time to be silent, And a time to speak.8 A time to love, And a time to hate. A time of war, And a time of peace.
