Being happy and sad at the same time just doesn’t make sense. How can I struggle with sadness and find that I am happy as a result? The Lord addressed this paradox in Matthew 5:4 which is a part of the “Sermon on the Mount”. When I am truly sad over the condition of my life and the conditions of the people around me, I can truly approach a sense of happiness that the world doesn’t have and doesn’t provide. Matthew 5:4 says, “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.”
