This week im going to try and just let you tell me what you thought about the chapter! God comforts you through his holy spirt, his word and your brothers and sisters in Christ.
Happy are the sad! yes thank you Jesus that this is true! My tears that i cry are made by my heavenly father and they remind me how much i need him. I loved that this chapter says that "happy are" not because you are sad, but because of the comfort our lord gives when we cry out to him, for he comforts us! I have a story-(and by the looks of how many people are blogging this might remain between you and me God) I just started school and have been completely overwhelmed! When this happens i cry a lot! i get frustrated, cant handle things and i just want it to go away. This in itself was affecting my marriage (or at least how i was talking to my husband)! Finally Brian asked me if i was giving these feelings over to God? The feeling of exhustion, no time, stress, panic, just purly overwhelmed with my little bubble! I thought about what he asked. I thought i had- i even prayed to God to take it away- however saying things into the air does not constitute as giving them to God, he informed me, you have to actually give them to God and let him HAVE them! Oh no, i hadnt done that! So there we were, God and I on my way to school- and i heard him tell me that it was going to be ok- and the sence of peace came over me- the calm that i forgot exsisted finally embedded itself into the pit of my soul and i could breath! Tears flooded my eyes and i thanked jesus for happy are the sad- for they are comforted!
Crissy says: I just had an epiphany while walking and I'm sure it's from this book and some other studies and just years of Jesus. Doing stuff is not even the issue. HE wants us to love him, adore him, and have fellowship with Him so when something or someone stands before us with a need we know what to do because we know Him....It's still resonating inside me as to what all this means...We're not about looking for a mission or a place to serve but studying Him and the other will naturally follow and we'll know what we're supposed to do so if we don't know what to do, don't study what's before us but study Him....
