The Bible says to mourn with those who mourn. Today I have wept over difficult news encountered by a friend.
The Bible says to rejoice with those who rejoice. Today I rejoiced with another friend who had great news.
It is incredible to encounter both extremes in one day. And yet God is intimately acquainted with both stories. He is present. He is involved. For Him, the tears of one do not cast a shadow on the celebration of the other. And the one rejoicing does not trivialize the one in pain. How beautiful it is that He can be with both of my friends at the same time...offering comfort or joy.
