As I write the last mid-week news before I’m on leave for 4 weeks in January, I wanted to share with you an article I read last week that deeply resonated with me. The writer makes the claim that “as you grow in age and in grace, the sorrows become more sorrowful and the joys grow deeper.”
He concludes:
“Perhaps we should not be surprised to be sorrowful, even more and more sorrowful as the years go by. I weep more than I ever did. And yet my tears are soaked through with an ever-deepening joy in Jesus, so that tears of sorrow and tears of joy become inseparably joined. And one day all the tears of sorrow will dissolve into pure and endless joy.”
The article is well worth a read in full.
