Comfort Those Who Mourn

MARTY GABLER—As the people of God assemble today, may they, like their loving God, comfort those who mourn and surround them and minister to them in such a way that the mourners may receive the oil of joy for mourning. May there be such facilitation that they receive the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness and leave that time of worship and fellowship with lifted heads. “…To comfort all who mourn, 3 To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness;” (Isa.61:2b-3a)

Mourning and Comfort

SadMan.jpeg“Blessed are they that mourn for they shall be drawn into the Lord’s comfort.” (Matt.5:4)  It seems illogical that anyone would not welcome comfort. But comfort requires change and change is not always welcomed. As hard as grief is, change is sometimes harder. But wounds do not heal unless we receive comfort.—Kathy Gabler


Being Comforted

ComfortingSomeoneGrief itself can feel too heavy to bear, like a smothering heaviness that dulls our passions and confuses our thinking.  It is a painful fog that can blur our vision and distort our reasoning abilities.  That is why, even though grief is a necessary first step, we cannot stay there.  We must move on.  Matt 5:4, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”  The second step to healing is “being comforted.”  Wounds to the soul and spirit are only healed when we move from GRIEF to COMFORT.
