The Joy of God

January 28, 2019 By admin

Imagine waking up to a day where the future is unknown—where the struggle to survive is intense and the odds are against you?

Imagine if your husband, wife, or three year-old child were to became gravely ill and receive a diagnoses that is essentially a death sentence? I once knew a woman who was diagnosed with inoperable Melanoma who was told that she had three to five years to live. Can you imagine receiving such news? Every priority and goal in your life would change.

She has since died, about three years after her diagnosis. I attended her funeral and joined her other friends who tried to bring comfort to her four young adult children.

When David sinned against God, himself and Bathsheba, he suddenly found himself devoid of hope and was overwhelmed with the thought of living a joyless life. How could he live with the future being so dark and foreboding?

Sometimes we underestimate the effect that hope and joy has in our lives until it’s gone.

What would you miss most if you suddenly learned (and it were true) that the story of Jesus was a myth and that he wasn’t coming back to rescue anyone? Would you be overwhelmed with fear? Would you be sad?

The thing that brought hope back into David’s life was the assurance that his sin was forgiven.

“Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins. Wash me clean from my guilt. Purify me from my sin…Oh, give me back my joy again…Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and make me willing to obey you” (Psalm 51:1,2,7,8,12, NLT).

Rich DuBose writes from Northern California.

Those Who Mourn

December 11, 2018 By admin

Today is my grandmother’s birthday. She would have been 87. She passed away 10 days ago. I was in my kitchen with my sister when I got the call from my mother telling us that our Abuela (grandmother in Spanish) had passed away. After getting the news, I immediately packed my bags and drove up from New York City to Massachusetts to be with my family.

As a therapist, I often tell people that there is no “right” way to mourn. I, for example, like to keep busy when confronted with grief. So as soon as I got to Massachusetts, I set out to help my mom and her siblings with the funeral arrangements. I picked out a cemetery plot, went to flower shops, compiled photographs, and took on the job of keeping my cousins up to date with funeral information. But after a while there was no more work to be done. All of the funeral arrangements were made and there was very little that could keep me busy. That’s when I noticed the uncomfortable feeling in the pit of my stomach. It came with the realization that I would soon see my grandmother for the first time since her passing.

When I got to my grandmother’s funeral, I made a point to stay as close to the back of the room as possible and away from her open casket, making sure that everyone had tissues and that the program was running smoothly. But as the service drew to a close, I started to become honest with myself. Perhaps keeping busy was not how I mourned at all. Perhaps it was how I avoided mourning. So I took a deep breath for the first time, walked up to my Abuela’s coffin, and looked at her as she lay resting. And I wept. As I did, I felt the arms of my siblings and cousins envelop me, and we wept together.

As I think of that moment, I am reminded of the words of Jesus:

Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted (Matthew 5:14, NIV).

I always thought that the “comfort” that Jesus was referring to was the eternal comfort of when we all get to live with him in heaven. But I know now that those words were meant for us here and now. I know because I sure saw a little bit of heaven in the arms of the ones I love.

Jael Amador writes from New York, New York.
