For his anger only lasts a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime. You may spend the night in tears, but happiness comes with the morning.
Those who sow in tears will reap with shouts of joy!
Those who weep as they go out to sow their seed will be singing in celebration when they carry the harvest home.
It's useless to get up early in the morning and go to work, and stay late into the evening, worrying about earning enough to eat, when the Lord gives rest to those he loves.
A cheerful attitude is like good medicine, but discouragement makes you sick.
A stupid son brings grief to his father and sadness to his mother who gave birth to him.
Those the Lord has set free will return, singing as they enter Jerusalem, wearing crowns of everlasting joy. They are overcome with thankfulness and happiness; sorrow and sadness simply disappear.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
The kind of sorrow God wants us to have makes us change our minds and brings salvation. This kind of sorrow leaves no sense of regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death will never happen again. There will be no mourning or crying or pain ever again for the former world no longer exists.”
