GRIEF

When I walked on earth I was acquainted with grief.  Grief is a result of sin just as guilt is a result of sin.  I only shook hands with grief when I lived on earth, but when I died on the cross for you, I bore all of your griefs and sorrows.  What does this mean?  When My soul was greatly troubled as I spent time just before My crucifixion with My Father in the Garden, I knew that grief of soul was seeking to overwhelm Me.  I could not allow this because I knew that I had to live until My death on the cross.

The end of overwhelming grief is death because overwhelming grief is sin and sin always leads to death.  Even when you experience great loss, do not allow grief to envelope you completely. Yes, you will grieve, but quickly turn your grief into mourning by giving Me the pain of your grief.  When you mourn, you are trusting Me to comfort you instead of trusting in yourself to overcome the pain of grief.

I won the victory over Satan when I did not allow him to overwhelm Me with grief to the point of giving up My life before it was time. He wanted to kill Me with that grief.  I won the victory again over Satan when I bore your griefs and sorrows on the cross.
