Encouragement (Madge Rotella)

(47:54)  Hi church.  First I want to say that I am very, very blessed.  I have a gift of encouragement and joy.  And we all have special gifts.  But, as we were worshipping, I pick up a very deep sense of mourning.  And we are living in a world of extremes right now.  We have extremes, from one side to the other.  And sometime we feel like I am bipolar.  I mean I am up, I am down, I am up,  I am anxious, I am depressed, I am full of Joy.  And I am not diagnosed with Bipolar, no way.  I sympathize with anyone who is.  However, our God is a God of extremes.  He is a God of extremes,  And in His word, He talks about mourning and joy.  We have to feel our feelings, to heal, our feelings.  And we have many many losses in this congregations.  And when we have deep losses we mourn.  We mourn.  We just lost another young beautiful person.  Another child of god has fallen.   Oh dear God , we just come to you and we ask for your comfort, for your strength during these times of mourning.  So that we can wake up and have joy in the mourning.      (49:49)
