September 30

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." said Jesus in Matthew 5: 4. How can sorrow do you harm if it is God's way of blessing you? Paul was so grief stricken that he cried out:

"Oh, what a terrible predicament I'm in! Who will free me from my slavery to this deadly lower nature? Thank God! It has been done by Jesus Christ our Lord. He has set me free." Romans 7:24, 25 LB

Lord Jesus, thank You that there is an ocean of love and comfort for me.
