With great enthusiasm I join again the day # 2 of the Beatitudes, thanks to the Apostle Darlenys for leading this great blessing in Steemchurch Venezuela
Are you tired of sin - not only of its consequences, but also that they always happen again? Are you sad because your desire to be good does not always come to light in your actions and words? How can it be filled with "the oil of joy?"
Are you sad because you are a prisoner of sin that lives in you?
The sadness according to God is related to the recognition of my own sin, or my defects, and generates repentance that helps me to go on the path of salvation and transformation
.
So, if I am sad, that encourages me to work on my own salvation and purification, so that my nature becomes more and more divine nature. Because it is written in Ecclesiastes 7.2: "It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of the banquet."
The consolation, which Jesus offers for all those who are sad according to God, is that the sins for those who repent can end in their life. Isaiah 61: 2-3 says that Jesus came with the good news: "... to comfort all who mourn, Desert the order of Zion be given glory instead of ashes, oil of joy instead of sorrow." You are one of the saddest in Sion? Are you tired of sin - not only of its consequences, but also that they always happen again?
How do you feel about your faults can be very good for others? Do you see the distance you are from life to the one that is written in the Bible? Are you sad to be bound and a prisoner of sin that lives in you? If you can answer with "yes", then you will receive comfort, because the divine sadness causes repentance in you, which leads you to actions, obedience and salvation, life. Because it is written in Ecclesiastes 7: 3: "Sorrow is better than laughter, because with the face of pain a better heart is made." His concern becomes the oil of joy. (Isaiah 61, 3 and Hebrews 1, 9)
" Blessed are those that weep, for they shall receive consolation." - Matthew 5: 4
