God will turn mourning into gladness and sorrow
into joy.
|
I forgot how good it feels not be in the presence of so much sorrow.
Not that Terence caused my sorrow. Cancer caused it. Sickness caused it. Death caused it.
He is gone now. Absent in body (but present with the Lord). Daily suffering no longer taunts me; it no longer forces me to behold it's destruction upon the one I loved so dearly.
But the absence of suffering does not equate to joy. The lasting kind of pleasure we all search for is called joy. It happens on the inside and works it's way outward. It can come even in the midst of some of our deepest pain....and only then does a true transformation begin to take place.
Transformation is a big business (it helps sell everything from new homes, to gym memberships, to make-up, to jewelry, to clothes, and to cars). But the Bible sees transformation differently. Transformation involves us getting back in step with life. We’re brought back into an understanding of our purpose in this world. When we see examples of transformation in Scripture, we don’t just see outward changes; we see inward changes. We see a new life that now lives to praise and glorify God.
That would be me! I cried out to God from the depths of my despair and God answered!
Okay, I admit some days are not perfect. I'm still healing. And on those days I may seem a little dyslexic and I sing for "yoj" instead of "joy" but I mean well... and I'm trying.
Wrong. God turns our sorrow into joy (Jer. 31:13).
My prayers are being answered and my heart is on the mend. Instead of mourning I am beginning to dance and instead of wearing sackcloth of sadness, I'm clothed with joy and I can’t help but to praise God.
Miracles do happen.
Wonderful post Sherry, am so happy that you began those grief sessions and are healing inside and out. Terence would be so proud of you! Correction, he IS proud of you, as I believe he is watching over you, an praying for you to be joyful once again.

I have long felt a special connection with herbal medicine. First, it's natural, Charlie attended the same small college in Southern California - Claremont Men's College - although he dropped out of school to enroll in the Julliard School of Performing Arts in New York. York. Had he been to Claremont, he would have been senior the year I started there; I often thought that was the reason he was gone when he discovered that I had herpes. So, my life was lonely, all day, I could not stand the pain of the outbreak, and then Tasha introduced me to Dr. Itua who uses her herbal medicines to cure her two weeks of consumption. I place an order for him and he hands it to my post office, then I pick it up and use it for two weeks. All my wound is completely healed no more epidemic. I tell you honestly that this man is a great man, I trust him Herbal medicine so much that I share this to show my gratitude and also to let sick people know that there is hope with Dr. Itua.
