“When we are crushed like grapes, we cannot think of the wine we will become. The sorrow overwhelms us, makes us throw ourselves on the ground, facedown, and sweat drops of blood. Then we need to be reminded that our cup of sorrow is also our cup of joy and that one day we will be able to taste the joy as fully as we now taste the sorrow.” [Henri J. M. Nouwen]
We believe that our sorrows will turn to joy because Jesus promises us that our joy will be complete. Jesus is the Joy we will experience, we are blessed with occasional glimpses of that joy here on earth, it’s completion will be in Heaven.
May God Be Praised.
