"Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted."
The mourning and weeping of Christians referred to in this beatitude is NOT
because of financial loss, terminal sickness, the death of loved ones, loneliness,
a divorce, a problem with children, or rejections experienced. But Christians
mourn because they realize that they have sinned against a holy God and have
brought dishonor to his name.
