Sorrow and Joy

Pale is the heart that’s scarred by grief,

And lost to all delight.
It holds no hope to see again
True joy’s elusive light.
But over time, the pain will ease,
The scars grow thin and slight,
And joy will always find a way
To slip through as it might.
 
So as you weep, hold on in faith,
For joy is ever nigh,
And you will see it flicker through
Between the tears you cry.

Jeremiah 8:18

You who are my Comforter in sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

For two friends who have lost the love of their lives this week. Hold onto the faith, for joy will return.
