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.
[The righteous] cry, and the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] [is] near unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.
The LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] opens [the eyes of] the blind: the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] raises them that are bowed down: the LORD-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] loves the righteous:
Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things], all my desire [is] before youi; and my groaning is not hid from youi.
"Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted".
Turn again, and tell Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] the captain of my people, Thus says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), the God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of David [beloved] youri father, I have heard youri prayer, I have seen youri tears: behold, I will heal youi: on the third day youi shall go up unto the house of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
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 his anger [endures but] a moment; in his favour [is] life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy [cometh] in the morning.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God-The Father [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God-The Father himself shall be with them, [and be] their God-The Father.
And God-The Father shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat.
For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God-The Father shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
As sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and [yet] possessing all things.
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 care upon him; for he cares for you.
And the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), he [it is] that does go before youi; he will be with youi, he will not fail youi, neither forsake youi: fear not, neither be dismayed.
Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that 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.
Therefore also now, says the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), turn you2f [even] to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning:
The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languishes; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, [even] all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men.
Then Iyov [hated] arose, and rent his Mantle (cloak; covering garment) (cloak), and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there: the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) gave, and the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) has taken away; Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) be the name of the LORD-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
The proverbs of Shlomo (Solomon) [Peace]. A wise son makes a glad father: but a foolish son [is] the heaviness of his mother.
For in much wisdom [is] much grief: and he that increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Therefore remove sorrow from youi heart, and put away evil from youi flesh: for childhood and youth [are] vanity.
And grieve not the holy Spirit [Ruach] of God-The Father, whereby you2f are sealed unto the day of redemption.
