Tristeza
A tristeza faz parte da experiência humana, mas a Bíblia nos assegura que Deus está perto dos que sofrem. Ele enxuga as lágrimas e transforma a dor em esperança.
Deus consola os aflitos
O Senhor está perto dos quebrantados de coração. Mesmo no vale mais escuro, sua presença é refúgio e consolo para a alma que chora.
4 Blessed the mourners, for they shall be comforted.
A alegria virá
A dor tem prazo de validade. A manhã de alegria sempre vem depois da noite de choro. Deus promete transformar o luto em dança.
3 And I heard a voice great out of the heaven, saying: Lo, the tabernacle of the God with the men, and will tabernacle with them, and they a people of him shall be, and himself the God with them will be, a God of them;4 and he will wipe away every tear from the eyes of them, and the death not shall be longer; neither mourning nor crying nor pain not shall be longer; because the first things passed away.
16 Not they will hunger more, neither will they thirst more, nor not may fall on them the sun, nor any heat;17 because the lamb the in the midst of the throne will tend them, and will them to of life fountains of waters; and will wipe away the God every tear from the eyes of them.
10 as being grieved, always but rejoicing; as poor, many but making rich; as nothing having; and all things possessing.
Entregando a dor a Deus
Podemos lançar sobre o Senhor toda nossa ansiedade e tristeza, porque Ele cuida de nós com ternura e não nos abandona.
7 all the anxious care of you having cast on him, because with him is care concerning you.
15 To rejoice with rejoicing ones, and to weep with weeping ones.
O choro e o arrependimento
Há tristezas que produzem arrependimento e conduzem à vida. O choro diante de Deus é acolhido e transformado em bênção.
30 and not grieve you the spirit the holy of the God, by which you were sealed for a day of redemption.
