I will turn their mourning into joy; I will comfort them and give them gladness for sorrow. - Jeremiah 31:13

This verse reminds me of the chorus of the Christmas song, "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen." You know it, don't you? Would you please sing that chorus with me right now? Here we go. What's that, you say? A Christmas song in July? Yes, I know it's hot. Just try it. Maybe it will make you feel cooler. Everybody sing. Ready? One, two, three: “Oh, tidings of comfort and joy, comfort and joy! Oh, tidings of comfort and joy!" Good job!
