Matthew 5:4 - "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you believe in this? Or do you just believe that blessings only comes in good things - money, good food, good friends?
How about the disciples? Have they lived in worldly abundance when they followed the Lord? In fact, even after the Lord ascended to heaven, they were prosecuted more. So, why are they called "blessed"?
Truly, the earthly definition of being "blessed" is totally different from how the Lord wants us to experience it. It is being with Him, totally trusting Him, listening to His Words and carrying our cross. For our true rewards is not in this world, but in that Place He prepared for us in His Kingdom.
Are you now in pain? Are you now suffering? Do you now feel you are alone? Then do not worry. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven (Matthew 5:12a).
Let us pray: Lord God, you alone is my rest. And my heart is restless, until it rests in you. Continue to bless me, Lord, in ways that is best for me, so I may continue to serve others to the best of my ability. Amen.
