“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.” — Matthew 5:4

Life has a way of breaking our hearts in ways we never saw coming. Sometimes it’s the loss of a loved one, sometimes it’s a broken dream, a hard goodbye, or a season that just hurts more than it helps. And in those moments, we mourn — we grieve — because that’s what love does when it feels the weight of what’s missing.

But Jesus… He sees that pain. He doesn’t ignore it or rush us past it. He says, “Blessed are those who mourn.” Not cursed. Not forgotten. Blessed. Because that mourning heart is a heart wide open — and that’s exactly where His comfort moves in.

You see, comfort isn’t the absence of pain. Comfort is the presence of Jesus in the pain. It’s His Spirit wrapping around your soul like a warm blanket on a cold night. It’s His whisper saying, “You’re not alone. I’m with you. And I’m not going anywhere.”

So if you’re mourning today, lean in. Let the tears fall. Let the grief be real. But know this: His comfort is coming — and it’s more than a feeling, it’s a promise. He is the God who draws near to the brokenhearted… and He calls you blessed.
