May we allow the Holy Spirit to reason with us when we get over into a
mentality of frustration and anger, and begin to express views and attitudes
that aren’t even reasonable. May He help us to recover in a timely fashion
and grant us grace to repair the breaches.
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD…” (Isa.1:18, KJV)

INABILITY or REFUSAL to be comforted can be a sign that the roots of grief have become infected with anger and unforgiveness. It is sometimes difficult to recognize anger or unforgiveness because they have many faces. Anger can SEEM like a responsibility. ‘I must stay angry to protect my family. I must stay angry to protect myself from this ever happening again.’ Or, ‘I must stay angry to insure the guilty party does not go unpunished!’ Anger can even seem to be a positive force and be used as a form of power or control in chaotic times. However, the long range repercussions are not good. James 1:20, “For man’s anger does NOT bring about the righteous life that God desires. (NIV)

May the Lord bring us such wonderful blessings as to prevent
deterioration and loss. May He bless us in the matters where we
need restoration and repair. May there be supply for repair and replacement.
“And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according
to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Phil.4:19, Amp)

If we do not receive comfort, we become CRIPPLED by GRIEF. One of the tell-tale signs that GRIEF has crippled a person is they continually rehearse their trials until the listener fully understands and relives their experience. They usually believe their experience is so unique that no one else can fully understand or sympathize. Another mark of grief being in residence too long is one physical battle after another. Receiving comfort closes the door on calamity or loss. Continued grief keeps the door open, so calamity keeps coming! Hopelessness is not just emptiness, it is a vacuum that sucks in despair. Likewise Grief can become a vacuum that draws more tragedy. WE CANNOT LIVE THERE!

As the people of God assemble today, may they look upon
one another, as they hope the Lord looks upon them, and
may they have mercy toward one another forgiving offenses
and realizing the life-giving consequences of harmony and unity.
“Put up with one another. Forgive. Pardon any offenses against
one another, as the Lord has pardoned you, because you should
act in kind.” (Col.3:13, Voice)
May the Lord grant recovery #1—May the Lord grant His people
recovery from time spent in ill health; and restore lost strength,
lost income and lost time.
“But then I will bring health [recovery] and healing to the people
there. I will heal them and let them enjoy [reveal to them] great
[an abundance of] peace and safety [security].” (Jer.33:6, EB)

I know a lady who always viewed herself as a “Pastor’s Wife”. When her husband died, the “pastor” died and she suddenly had no identity! She mourned but did not move on to comfort. In the heavy fog of grief she even considered suicide; but God “called her sons to her side to speak to her, encourage and instruct.” She received the comfort and CHANGED from a woman in her 70’s wanting to forfeit her future to a woman who is passionately building the future as she travels and ministers to many!

We cannot have any more influence with someone than they
have value for us. When we refresh someone or meet a need,
value is established. Friendship and loyalty are of great value.
“They have refreshed my spirit and yours. You should
recognize the value of people like these.” (1Cor.16:18, NCV)

Grief can feel like the right thing to do. We can get used to grief until it begins to feel “normal;” and normal is comfortable! So, as hard as GRIEF is, CHANGE is harder. True comfort will mean change of position and perspective and change of heart. One of the original meanings of “shall be comforted” is 1) to call to one’s side, (Strong/Thayer). As God calls us to His side, we CHANGE positions, moving from our view of the situation to God’s view or moving from our view of self to God’s view of us. 2) “Shall be comforted” also means to speak to, instruct, to encourage, to teach. We CHANGE from debating our cause to hearing the truth. We CHANGE from reacting to feelings to responding to truth.
