God knows your pain. The
Psalmist shares this truth; The Lord is close to the
brokenhearted and saves those
who are crushed in spirit. - Psalm 34:18
For his anger is but for a moment. His
favor is for a lifetime. Weeping
may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning. - Psalms 30:5
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. - Psalm 147:3
Hear
my cry, O God; listen to my prayer. - Psalm 61:1
Do not forget the fact that
death is the consequence of sin that started in the Garden with Adam and Eve.
Jesus died on the cross to release us from the sting of death, which is sin. “Where, O death is
your victory? Where, O death is your sting?” The
sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But
thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. - 1
Corinthians 15:55-57.
But sin is ugly, and the
suffering caused by sin is enormous. Sin is something to cry about. Forgiveness
should cause us to rejoice.
Amen?
