Finding True Comfort

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." --JESUS

When facing challenging and "mourningful" experiences we often quote this verse trying to bring some comfort to the situation. However, this is an often misquoted verse. This is not speaking about the mourning caused by obsessant sin, tamper tantrums, or the brokenness that comes from a rebellious lifestyle towards God and His ways. The "mourning" taking place here is due to injustice and the prevailing sinfulness that causes it. The "comfort" that Jesus is talking about, is a comfort that comes from God when we line ourselves up with Him. In any case, when going through difficult times, whether experiencing it or witnessing it, the comfort comes when we willfully and faithfully turn to God for understanding and remaining obedient to His ways. Too often we want the comfort that Jesus speaks of but instead we run to a bottle, a drug, another relationship, some form of entertainment or or the pursuit of some new "money-making" scheme. Friend, you will never find lasting comfort apart from God, because anything you run to other than God is your idol. NO idol can bring you the comfort Jesus speaks of. Turn to Jesus today. Follow Him, trust Him, live for Him and find true comfort.
