Weeping Into Wonder

Weeping Into Wonder

When Sorrow Transforms - Advent 2024 - Day 15

"Thus saith the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, and bitter weeping; Rahel weeping for her children refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.

Thus saith the LORD; Refrain thy voice from weeping, and thine eyes from tears: for thy work shall be rewarded, saith the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.

And there is hope in thine end, saith the LORD, that thy children shall come again to their own border." (Jeremiah 31:15-17)

"In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." (Matthew 2:18 KJV)

"Your tears water the seeds of your future harvest. What looks like loss today becomes the foundation of tomorrow's testimony." - Priscilla Shirer

When you've cried in a cell, or wept through withdrawal, or mourned relationships damaged by addiction, you understand Rachel's grief. But notice how God doesn't minimize her pain - He redirects her perspective.

Joyce Meyer powerfully notes: "God never wastes a hurt. Every tear you've cried is stored in His bottle, and every pain you've endured is being transformed into purpose."

Your Sorrow Truth:
Your tears aren't just falling; they're watering something. Your grief isn't just pain; it's preparation. Your mourning isn't just an end; it's a beginning.

Preparing Your Heart for Christmas:
What tears need God's promise today? Where do you need to see hope in your ending? How can your pain become someone else's hope?

Engagement Prompts:
Share how God turned your tears to triumph
Where are you seeing hope grow from hurt?
