Sorrow [is] better than laughter, For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.
[Ecc 7:3 NKJV]
There is a heavy sadness over our nation along with the spirit of fear. People are struggling with being shut in. Seniors aren’t allowed to see their families, especially if they live in an assisted living facility. Children haven’t been allowed to play together and see their friends.
As humans we are created for socialization. We are created to be companions to others. Fellowship lifts our spirits and gives us courage and hope.
I know that hardships in life can make us stronger. We grow in adversity. It does not make it any easier, though.
Only God can give us strength in difficult days. He expects us, wants us, to lean into him. Through Him we will make it to the finish line.
“These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
[Jhn 16:33 NKJV]
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been Come broken hearted let rescue begin Come find your mercy Oh sinner, come kneel Earth has no sorrow That Heaven can’t heal Earth has no sorrow That Heaven can’t heal So, lay down your burdens Lay down your shame All who are broken Lift up your face Oh wanderer, come home You’re not too far So, lay down your hurt Lay down your heart Come as you are Crowder – Come As You Are Lyrics |
