21 Blessed are you who hunger now,
for you will be satisfied.
Blessed are you who weep now,
for you will laugh.
Jesus gave us the Beatitudes. Jesus understands us, because he lived as one of us. He felt the pain of hunger. In earlier verses, his disciples were criticized for gathering food on the Sabbath. He wept when Lazarus died.
It's been a tough time for me. I was grieving so deeply that I would not eat except to avoid the pain of hunger. I have wept and wept. I knew God was always with me however. I knew the promise of better times to come.
Prayer: Lord, help those I care about through their own rough times. Comfort them as You have comforted me.
Amen
