But this verse reminds us that pain doesn't last forever, just as night is followed by the dawn. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Rev%2021:3-4&version=NIV 2009-09-27T21:14:48-05:00 The great promise of Jesus is that through his redeeming work, we can look forward to a day when we will live with God, in a kingdom where there is no more pain, sorrow, or suffering. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2Cor.7.10&version=NIV 2009-07-20T13:19:11-05:00 Is sorrow ever "good"? When it is genuine sorrow over sin, and when it leads to repentance, it's a godly trait. But worldly sorrow--bound up in material possessions and unspiritual things--is unhealthy and leads nowhere. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Hard-Times/Holding-Onto-the-Cross-5591 2008-07-21T14:17:41-05:00 I had to move a very heavy couch not long ago. It was too heavy to carry alone - like what you're going through right now. But the cross of Jesus is your assurance that Jesus is there to grab the other end of this unbearable burden and help you carry what you cannot carry alone. In fact, He will carry you when you can't walk any further. http://sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=20276&forum=34&2 2008-01-01T11:35:04-05:00 Our errand being one of grace, the Lord will hear us when we ask his presence in it. Now, his Spirit is not "the spirit of fear :" it is the "spirit of love, and of power, and of a sound mind" (2 Tim. 1:7).
