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.
They cry out and Yahweh hears
and delivers them from all of their troubles.
Yahweh is near to those who are heartbroken
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Yahweh opens the eyes of the blind;
Yahweh raises up those bowed down;
Yahweh loves the righteous;
O Lord, all my longing is before you,
and my sighing is not hidden from you.
Blessed are the ones who mourn,
because they will be comforted.
"Return; you must say to Hezekiah, the leader of my people, ‘Thus says Yahweh the God of David your ancestor, "I have heard your prayer and I have seen your tears. Look, I am about to heal you. On the third day you shall go up to the temple of Yahweh.
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.
For there is a moment in his anger;
there is a lifetime in his favor.
Weeping lodges for the evening,
but in the morning comes rejoicing.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"Behold, the dwelling of God is with humanity,
and he will take up residence with them,
and they will be his people
and God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
and death will not exist any longer,
and mourning or wailing or pain will not exist any longer.
The former things have passed away."
They will not be hungry any longer or be thirsty any longer,
nor will the sun ever beat down on them, nor any heat,
because the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them
and will lead them to springs of living waters,
and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."
as grieving, but always rejoicing, as poor, but making many rich, as having nothing, and possessing everything.
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.
casting all your cares on him, because he cares for you.
Yahweh is the one going before you; he will be with you, and he will not leave you alone, and he will not forsake you; you shall not be afraid, and you shall not be discouraged."
Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
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.
A Call to Repentance
"And even now," declares Yahweh,
"return to me with all your heart,
with fasting, and weeping, and wailing."
The vine withers
and the fig tree droops.
The pomegranate tree, and also the palm tree, the apple tree
—all the trees of the field—are dried up.
Indeed, joy is dried up
among the sons of men.
Then Job arose and tore his outer garment and shaved his head; then he fell upon the ground and he worshiped. Then he said, "Naked I came out from my mother’s womb, and naked I will return there. Yahweh gives, and Yahweh takes. Let Yahweh’s name be blessed."
Proverbs of Solomon
The proverbs of Solomon:
A wise child makes a father glad,
but a foolish child grieves his mother.
For in much wisdom is much frustration,
and whoever increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Banish anxiety from your heart,
and put away pain from your body,
for youth and vigor are vanity.
and do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
