This week Pastor Troy continued with the series BLESSED. It has been a great series! As we looked at "blessed are those who mourn" I came to the realization that He didn't say He would take away all the pain and anguish that caused the mourning, but that they would be comforted. They will be given hope. They will be consoled.
Our responsibility as Christians is not to tell people to buck it up and give them a bunch of pat answers in their time of distress and grief but to be God's arms of comfort and loving embrace.
If you are going through a tough time right now . . . if you are mourning . . . may you be blessed with His comfort today!!
During praise and worship we sang a song sung by Starfield called UNASHAMED. Love this song!!
"Unashamed"
I have not much
To offer You
Not near what You deserve
But still I come
Because Your cross
Has placed in me my worth
Oh, Christ my King
Of sympathy
Whose wounds secure my peace
Your grace extends
To call me friend
Your mercy sets me free
And I know I'm weak
I know I'm unworthy
To call upon Your name
But because of grace
Because of Your mercy
I stand here unashamed
I can't explain
This kind of love
I'm humbled and amazed
That You'd come down
From heavens heights
And greet me face to face
Here I am at Your feet
In my brokeness complete
Unashamed by Starfield
