"Experiencing"



2 of the 8 Beatitudes
Blessed are they who mourn  - - for they shall be comforted.   Matthew 5:4

If we are humble and appreciate that all of our gifts and blessings come from God, we grow in love and gratitude for Jesus Christ our Savior. But this can only produce mourning and regret over our own sins and the sins of this world, for we have hurt the One who has been so good to us. One also mourns for the suffering of others. 

But the sentence continues that they shall be comforted, by the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, and hopefully one day in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Mourning in this context is called a Blessing, because mourning our fallen nature creates in us a desire to improve ourselves and to do what is right!

"Mourn" - - - Experiencing God's comfort - - in our Pain.
