Why sad?

John 19:13 “They asked her, ‘Woman, why are you crying?”‘ Mary was so sad.  She did not realize–all is well.  Don’t you and I find ourselves in the same situation?  We become depressed and think we are facing the worst of times when actually we are in the midst of the best of times.  A loved one dies, but really lives.  We think bad is happening but really we are learning a valuable lesson.  If our attitude is: God is in control, He only wants the best for us, He loves us dearly, He is either holding our hand or walking by our side or carrying us—all is well with my soul—we cannot help but live a contented, peaceful and secure life.  Even in our sadness we have joy.
