Through mourning, God transforms our grief into grace
1. Mourning & the Weight of Sin (2 Cor. 7:10, Luke 6:25, Ps. 119:136)
2. The Promise of Comfort (Ps. 34:18, Eccl. 7:4, Rev. 21:4, Ps. 30:5)

b) God’s Comfort is Transformative

For Further Reflection: What grief are you currently carrying—and how might God be inviting you to bring it honestly into his presence? In what ways might mourning—over personal sin, broken relationships, or the pain of the world—be a doorway through which God is shaping your heart for his Kingdom? Where do you need to trust that God’s comfort is already at work in your grief, even if healing or resolution has not yet come?
