Sing a song of Zion

HOW is it, that you can be joyful one minute, then miserable the next? I received some news at Church last night, and I was sad - almost instantaneously.

Church was great; good music (tho. we had a newbie drummer…?); ambience was perfect (rain outside on the Church roof after dusk that the stain glass windows were pitch-black); those whom I spoke to were very encouraging… – and that’s the pivotal point isn’t it – the people within the church; warm, heart-felt words that grace the Epistles as you witness the Living God because the Word is Incarnate in their lives, through their speech… (save that blog for another time…)

Funny thing is, this news I received was not even about me – it was in no way related to me and didn’t/is not going to – effect me. BUT I was sad, because it affected a friend of mine; as it hurts them, it hurts me.

That’s what it is about community, sharing the joy and the pain – as Sons and Daughters of God we work together for one purpose, waiting on Him to return and claim us as His own; the Lord of Hosts who emptied himself of all but Love, and that is true Love, that He gave himself up as a ransom for many; For He came into this world that we may not perish, but have Eternal Life.

Everything else that this world offers pales in comparison, no really it does.

…That’s the truth. And it hurts.
