To find comfort at a time of sadness is to know solace. It is a state that we all have had to go through. It is difficult to assess without having been through the state of solace and truly found comfort there. It becomes a memory that will not fade. It’s not always the happiness of memories that are held onto in the distance. They are enjoyed fleetingly and are soon gone. To find solace is a lingering way to hold right onto the comfort that it brought to our mind and soul. It is a serious time of great need and, to have been comforted at such a time, allows us a time of reflection everybody should understand.
It is through the suffering that is given to us that we understand the emotions of others, so that they are called to feel the pain of sorrow. It cannot be felt truly in our hearts and minds unless we have been placed in this situation and have experienced the melancholy of loss to such a degree that we hold ourselves in suffering and feel so utterly alone. It is at these times that the Lord God in His way, often allows us a moment of solace. The divine comfort grows in the understanding of the pain of suffering we have received by His gracious comprehension of our minds. We suddenly feel a moment of wonderment, as if we are suddenly surrounded in our sorrow with a warm and comforting energy that arrives from nowhere but engulfs us with its wonder.
It is not always understood until it has passed, because we are held in the wonder that takes away the pain and from that moment, we are held in the experience of something that is beyond our comprehension, yet it is positive and gives healing to our troubled state of being. As it lingers around us and we are devoid of any negativity, we simply exist in this wonderful and timeless state until we move and can hold it in our memory for all time. It is a precious state of God given understanding and is His way of showing us the possibility and existence of pure unconditional love.
Here we found solace given to us freely and with complete understanding of our earthly emotions that are taken away by the divine gift of pure unadulterated love. It may be that one will never experience that state of being again but once is enough to feel what a never to be forgotten moment is like and to be brought that close to God. It is a gift that makes one feel conscious of life beyond the heavy burden that we carry on this earth plane. When God lifts the weight off our shoulders for that moment and allows us in to feel beyond this earth plane, we are fortified to continue the suffering, but the pain is now dulled with divine understanding.
