“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
— Matthew 5:4 NASB1995
🤔 When Sin Actually Hurts
This kind of mourning isn’t about losing your favorite hoodie. It’s the sorrow that hits when you realize your sin has hurt your relationship with God.
Sometimes it’s easier to scroll past conviction. But Jesus says those who actually feel their sin, who don’t numb it or brush it off, will be comforted by Him. When your heart breaks for what breaks His, He doesn’t reject you—He wraps you in mercy.
🔊 Real Talk:
- When was the last time you felt truly sorry for something wrong you did?
- What did you do with that feeling? Did you talk to God about it?
✨ Try This:
Read Psalm 51. Highlight anything that stands out. Then write a short confession prayer to God. Don’t be afraid of honesty—He’s already waiting.
✍️ Prayer:
God, I don’t want to ignore my sin. Teach me to care about what You care about. Thank You for comforting me when I come to You with a broken heart. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
