It is like the passing cloud on the summer's day!

"Your sorrow shall be turned into joy!" John 16:20

The sorrow of the Christian must be transient. It is like the passing cloud on the summer's day; or the chill of winter which must give place to the genial warmth of spring.

Beloved, if you now have sorrow—then your sorrow also shall soon be turned into joy; for joy is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. 

Heaviness may endure for the night—but joy comes in the morning. 

The SIN that causes your sorrow—shall be pardoned and subdued. 

The FOES that disturb your peace—shall be converted or destroyed. 

The CLOUDS that obscure your sun—shall soon dissolve in showers of blessing on your favoured head. 

The hard and weary road between you and your eternal home—will soon be passed! The days of your mourning will be ended, and those who now go forth weeping, bearing precious seed—shall soon return with songs of everlasting joy!

"Your sorrow shall be turned into joy!" John 16:20
