I pity those who have not God in times of sorrow. I especially pity those who can not feel or see Him helping them in those times. 

Thanking God For Comforting Me

Lord You comfort me.

When my eyes are to full of tears to see.

Lord You comfort me.

Thank You for the sweet words of comfort from thee.

Thank You for friends and family who surround me with love.

Thank You for their prayers to my Heavenly Father above.

I know as the tears fall You are healing my heart.

I know from my side You will never depart.

I am so thankful I can turn to You.

 I can rely on You to see me through.

Oh pain and death where is your sting.

I know my heart will again sing.

Thanks to the Great Physician healer of every thing. 

Baby The Rain Must Fall

Well here I am with another oldie moldy song running through my head. Except all I can remember is the tune and the line, "baby the rain must fall." Staying so close to God in prayer and bible study; I would think I could stay on the mountain top for ever. But that just isn't the way it is. There are different degrees of valley days. There is the little disappointment, "Oh gee I didn't get to go out to lunch with my best friend today." There is the bigger disappointments, "You forgot my birthday!" Then there is hurt, "I can't believe you could do this to me!" Then there is pain, "I can't believe you want a divorce!" Then there is agony, "I can't believe my spouse is dead." Then there is grief beyond belief, "My child has been missing for a week." I myself have never had to face some of  these but I have faced some pretty excruciating times in my life. I faced them before I knew Jesus an let me say it was pure hell. I have faced some after Jesus and I must say it was still pretty bad, but I am thankful to have Him to turn to. I don't know how I or anyone else can survive some of life's painful moments with out God. God cares about our pains and hurts no matter how small or how big they are. He wants us to come to Him at those times and allow Him to heal and help us. Tears to me seem like God washing the wound; it seems after He washes it He starts to work on healing it. Tears lift the burden of the heart, relieve the tension in me also they sometimes numb me like a pain killer, they tire me out so I can sleep. Tears sort of prep me for the Great Physician to come and start healing my wound. The people God sends to be with me are like nurses. They apply to my hurt or pain the medicine God has placed in them for me. Sometimes the medicine is words of sympathy, encouragement, love, and more. Sometimes the medicine is a listening ear or a helping hand in my time of need. Sometimes it's just someone being there whether they talk or not. Sometimes the medicine is them reminding me who God is, and that He loves me, and that He will never leave me. Sometimes the medicine comes in the form of  helping me see right and wrong, and helping me to forgive, or in the form of good advice. Sometimes the medicine is in the form of prayer; someone praying for me or with me. In every life some rain must fall; but thanks be to God when it does He is there. Help and hope is on the way with the first tear drop or little disappointment. And I am never lacking for the care of nurses.

To comfort all who mourn...To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness Isaiah 61:2-3, Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, Therefore if there is any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit, if any affection and mercy, fulfill my joy by being like--minded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Philippians 2:1-2, Therefore comfort one another edify one another, just as you also are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
