Hebrews 11:1,6 Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

To BE Attitudes: Blessed ARE the Mourners...
Matthew 5:4. The definition of mourning is: To feel or express sorrow or grief over
(misfortune, loss, or anything regretted); deplore; to grieve or lament
over (the dead); to utter in a sorrowful manner. This is
tough to reconcile, Blessing and Mourning, since to be
blessed means: consecrated; sacred; holy; sanctified; blissfully happy or contented. Honestly,
when i started writing this post, i thought to be blessed was "all
of the above" definition at once (combined), but that's not the case. How
can someone be sorrowful or disconsolate and blissfully
happy at the same time? Of course it's not
possible! Sorrowful and Happiness are opposites and in this case, unlike the Law of Polarity that says
the opposites attract, they repel each other. Besides, we have to
consider Jesus Christ in the death of Lazarus, when He wept. Was He
weeping because He was blissfully happy or because He groaned in the spirit and was troubled? John 11:32-35. As Solomon wrote: Ecclesiastes
3:1-4. Jesus not only understood the times and
seasons, but He also expressed the fullness of His humanity and yet He
never sinned. Our problem as believers, is that we try our best to be
"better" than Jesus Christ, He wept, rejoiced, got angry, was
troubled, was quiet, was outspoken, suffered, smiled, etc. It's ok to
express our feelings, since they don't lead us to sin. Romans 12:15 . So, there's
no need for a Comforter (Holy Spirit) if we'll never mourn: John 14:26.
