Finding happiness (2) (Matthew 5:4)
Be brave!
Be patient!
cheer up!
Don't say it with very good intentions, but sometimes these words make me more helpless.
.Rather, there are stylish cars,
.I have a nice house,
A TV that is dozens of inches that makes me happy makes me laugh,
.There are all kinds of tools,
.Let's laugh, laugh,
.Turn up the TV volume, step on the accelerator,
.What do you mean to mourn?
No one likes to mourn.
Mourning is
deeply saddened,
It means lamenting a mistake, but who likes to mourn?
That's why I'm insensitive to mourning,
I let it go,
cold,
indifferent.
But why does the Bible say that those who mourn are happy?
It's because I'm not good enough.
Look at Isaiah.
Isa 6; says this in
“Woe to me, I am in ruins. Unclean lips, I have seen God, the LORD of hosts, among the unclean.”
Your own weakness! Confess the problem.
To get your faith right, life without the Lord must feel boring. It should be considered heartbreaking.
Psalm 34:18 says, “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are contrite in spirit.”
People,
.I tried so hard to ‘take care of myself’,
.with my own strength,
.I tried so hard to get rid of the ugly temperament,
.why is this?
.Why is it this way, this way?
.Why do you have this type of hair?
When you mourn because of your own shortcomings, when you mourn and ask for help from the Lord, you are comforted.
know my shortcomings,
While mourning the tribe,
If you seek the Lord,
temperament changes,
I believe that sorrow turns into joy.
Second) Mourning is not the kind of cry we cry out of self-pity.
Mourning is not crying over material loss.
He doesn't cry because his sins are all exposed.
True mourning is turning away from one's sins.
From now on, trying to live according to God's will, not my own thoughts, that is, when my life changes direction to God, this is called true repentance.
Just as there is childbirth when there is colic, there must be mourning for sin to be spiritually renewed.
The Bible also says so.
“Godly sorrow will bring about repentance that leads to salvation, without any regret,” as 2 Corinthians 7:10 emphasizes.
If you turn from your sins,
.I am ashamed,
.There is no difficulty in living according to the will that pleases God,
I believe that God's comfort abounds above that.
Third) Mourning comes from love.
There is a fuel gauge.
The scale on the fuel gauge shows how much fuel is left in the fuel tank.
To know how much I love God, see my love for your people.
My love for others is the exact scale of my devotion to God.
That is why 1 John 4 says, “Beloved, let us love one another. Love is from God and to know God, and we have received this commandment from the Lord. He who loves God must also love his brother.”
Is it really true that the hymn doesn't 'save all those who are dying'?
Lincoln said, “It is very sad to see a person who is not feeling pain when the person next to him is being whipped.”
But my heart
No, so many people's hearts are cold.
Because there is no love of God in this.
.Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus.
.Wept while looking at Jerusalem.
Then He said, “Love God with all your heart, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” Luke 10:27
The world we live in is very rough.
It's tough.
how nasty
Yet happiness is nowhere to be found.
is happiness,
.in pain together,
.to grieve together,
.When we are having a hard time together, we enjoy it.
May God's comfort fill you as we weep together.
Finally) I mourn because there is hardship.
God never said to anyone that he would never suffer sorrow, pain, or pain.
To live in this world is to walk in a ‘valley of tears’.
But suffering is very important to us.
because?
When we test our faith,
When I make it strong again,
Because you are using the period of hardship.
Let's look at the ancestors of the faith.
After passing through the “furnace of suffering” by faith, they came out like gold refined by fire.
That period is not easy.
So, did the Lord promise you?
“Look! I will always be with you until the end of the world.”
Suffering is hard.
So the Lord never makes me sick alone.
I'm not sad alone.
Therefore, James 1:2-4 says, “Rejoice, my brethren, whatever trials you face. For you know that the trials of your faith produce patience. Perfect your patience This is so that you may be perfect and prepared, so that you do not lack anything.” Hallelujah,
Do not forget it.
It's hard, it's hard.
.Affliction is piercing,
.to split,
.Don't even beat it,
In the end, it is just a work that cuts us down into the image of the Lord.
That is why He said, “He who endures to the end will be saved.”
While weeping, I pray until I receive God's comfort,
While weeping, I pray that you will enjoy happiness in the midst of mourning while persevering and praising until the day you receive God's comfort.
