Too fresh in our minds, the news out of Connecticut sent my stomach to turn and almost create in me a sickness that just wouldn't go away. Watching and hearing the news unfold was one horrible story after another. There are so many ways we can turn. We can scream like Piers Morgan at our guests that more guns isn't the answer and how we need tighter gun laws or we can begin to cry out about the mentally ill. I have an opinion. A big one. But one I won't share. It doesn't matter. What matters is there is hope in Christ. Hope for breaking hearts. God has a promise.
Psalm 147:3 He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.
Psalm 126:5 Those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy.
Psalm 118:11 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.
The LORD knew we would face trials, hardships, pain, and loss. But He has never left us.
John 16:37
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
Take heart dear believer in Christ, that he has overcome the world. We mourn, cry, pray, praise, and worship until his return. John 16 states that no one can take our joy away.
