I hear the Lord say:

Morning and mourning – day and night- the cycle of life. My presence and comfort are with you in the morning and in the evening, in the day and in the night. In the depths of your soul is both joy and sorrow. The depth of My love for you exceeds the depth of your emotions. Your sorrow is not too deep for Me to heal. Your grief is not too low for Me to raise you up. My arms are ever stretched out – to comfort, to hold and to console. Run, run into My arms and weep. Let the tears fall; let your sorrows stream out…. then breathe…. breathe again. Look up at My face.  See My tears. See My sorrow for your sorrow. See Me wipe your tears away. I brush your hair from your eyes. I caress your head and face. You feel safe in My arms. You understand My comfort will heal your heart. And stay… stay here with Me.   Rest… rest here with Me. Breathe… breathe here with Me.

You hear the sound of wind chimes. You remember the joy and feel the breeze.  Holy Spirit blows on you. You are enraptured by His presence, enveloped and transformed.

Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
and the young men and the old shall be merry.
I will turn their mourning into joy;
I will comfort them, 
and give them gladness for sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:13  ESV
