Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:4). Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh (Luke 6:21). Grieve, mourn and wail… Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up (James 4:9-10). Come near to God and He will come near to you (James 4:8).
He has sent me, to announce the year of the Lord’s good will… to comfort all those who grieve. (Isaiah 61:2). I will turn their mourning into joy. I will comfort them. I will give them joy in place of their sorrow (Jeremiah 31:13).
My people have been lost sheep (Jeremiah 50:6). Go to the lost sheep… As You go, spread this message: The kingdom of heaven is near (Matthew 10:6-7).
What I mean, brothers, is that the time is short (1 Corinthians 7:29).
