The reality is that as we Jesus draws us closer to Himself, the more and more he reveals in us our own sin and brokenness. And as we draw closer to Him, we begin to mourn. We mourn because we see the glory of the way things are supposed to be, and how different things actually are!
I think similar to Reid I often have an angry response, before I mourn, when I see things for the way that they are. How often I envision the way that things could be. Though Jesus does not call me to be angry, he calls me to mourn and be blessed in my mourning. Jesus speaks to me exactly what Darrell shared towards the end of the sermon... "The vision is true. It does not have to be this way. It can change, but don't carry the weight of making the vision come true on your own shoulders. Trust Jesus, trust The Father!!!!"
The Joy comes in the Morning. Amen.
