Sorrow Turned Into Dancing
Dancing is an expression of joy, and dancing also produces joy. In several Scriptural passages, God promises
to heal the brokenhearted and to restore their joy. He said that He has turned our mourning into
dancing. He said that weeping may endure
for a night (a short season), but joy comes in the morning.
He restores the song in our hearts.
Here are some Scriptures about sorrow turned into joy:
Psalms 30:11 “Thou has turned for
me my mourning into dancing; thou hast put off my sackcloth and girded me with
gladness.”
Ecclesiastes 3:4 “A time to weep,
and a time to laugh; a time to mourn and a time to dance.”
Jeremiah 31:13 “Then shall the
virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together; for I will turn
their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from
their sorrow.”
Isaiah 51:11 “Therefore, the
redeemed of the Lord shall return, and come with singing unto Zion; and
everlasting joy shall be upon their head; they shall obtain gladness and joy;
and sorrow and mourning shall flee away.”
Isaiah 61:3 “To appoint unto them
that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for
mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be
called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that He might be
glorified.”
Psalms 30:5b “Weeping may endure
for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”
Nehemiah 8:10 “The joy of the
Lord is your strength.”
Isaiah 65:19 “And I will rejoice
in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and the voice of weeping shall no more be
heard in her, nor the voice of crying.”
Psalms 126:5 “They that sow in
tears shall reap in joy.”
Isaiah 51:3 “For the Lord shall
comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her
wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the Lord; joy and
gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.”
It is God's will that no one should perish (end up in hell), but that ALL should come to repentance.
For God so loved this world that He gave His only begotton Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
God did not send His Son into this world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him would be saved.
The thief (Satan the devil) comes only for to kill, steal and destroy. But Jesus has come to give us life, and life more abundantly, until it overflows.
I urge you to come to the Cross today and receive Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will wash away all your sins and make you as clean and white as fresh snow.
Just pray this prayer and mean it with your heart:
Dear Lord Jesus (if you are not able to call him Lord yet, then just say "Jesus")
I receive You as my Savior and Lord. I give my life over to You. I believe that You died and rose again, and that if I call on the Name of the Lord I shall be saved.
I accept you into my heart right now, and confess that You are Lord and have risen from the dead and forever live to make intercession for me.
Thank You for washing my heart pure and clean and making me whole, and for giving me peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Thank You that now I am a new creature in Christ Jesus. The old has gone and the new has come.
And there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh (carnality and sin), but walk after the Spirit. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
If you prayed this prayer, I believe you got born again and are now heaven bound and will be with the Lord forever and have eternal life. Your sins are now forgiven. You are accepted in the Beloved.
I would encourage you to find a good Bible based local church to help you grow in your faith, to learn the Word of God, to praise and worship Him, and to have fellowship with the saints.
Serving Christ is the best decision you will ever make.
God bless you!!!
