Rejoice and Weep

I rejoice because in recent days I have been granted the rich opportunity to serve others in very specific ways. I weep because there is so very much sorrow out there needing a listening ear.

I rejoice because sometimes simple labor service leads to more substantive spiritual ministry. I weep because, in this case, it means doing a funeral service.

I rejoice because I was fully able to write a unique memorial, fitting the requests. I weep because I can't begin to talk about the misery associated with this event.

I rejoice because the hand of God is peeling back the layers of pretty lies hiding deep evil. I weep because the evil is so very deep and shocking.

I rejoice because the Lord is coming to visit His people here in the US. I weep because it would seem so very many of them aren't ready to face Him, and the vast majority of the nation seems to ignore Him altogether.
