Essential duty

Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matt5:4

Only those who mourn with godly sorrow will be comforted. And there is only one way to give anxious sinners real comfort. Do not try to comfort anxious sinners with false notions, better suppress our false sympathy and tenderness and let the naked truth cleave them asunder. When a sinner is distressed and in agony, God is ready to comfort him. He is not comforted, because he refuses to be comforted. We need not think to be more compassionate than God. And to give sinners false comfort is, in fact, cruelty.
