When You've Lost What Is Most Dear To You

Happy Weekend everyone,

Yesterday, I started going through the beatitudes that Jesus spoke of in His Sermon on the Mount found in Matthew 5:3-12. I started with the first of the beatitudes, but today I’ll look into the second in the beatitudes, so tag along.

Matthew 5:4 says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” The Message puts it thus, “You’re blessed when you feel you’ve lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.” To mourn doesn’t only have to be when your loved ones have passed away, the Message says, “…when you feel you’ve lost…” which could also mean the person might have been abandoned by family and friends or situations similar to this creating a sense of loss. Are you that person who have lost everything? Things would certainly feel tough and sad for you, but remember what Jesus said, even though everybody have abandoned you, God would never abandon you, not only would He never leave you nor forsake you, He would comfort you, He would be most dear to you (ref. Hebrews 13:5-6). Jesus said you are blessed, which means He is ever ready to take care of you in your time of trial.

Are you that person who lost family and friends for following Jesus? Jesus is always there for you in every single way. But you may say, even though He is real, you don’t get to see Him physically, not exactly, God functions through His children, which is why He could send you new family and friends who would be there to comfort you and be there to strengthen you as you keep walking with the Lord. Remember, in my write-up few days ago, He always gives us evidence, so it isn’t just one breeze that blows which seems to show He is always there, no, He sends His children to show He heard of your case and have sent them to show He is ever ready to take care of you. For Him to say you are blessed means He cares.

Don’t think God doesn’t care about what we go through, on the contrary, His love for us is so great that it cannot be measured because it would blow your mind, and nothing can separate you from the love of Christ, (ref.: Romans 8:35), so embrace the One who is most dear to you, love Him because He first loved you.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
