 Biblical insights from Harvest with Pastor Greg Laurie. Jesus says, Blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. You could also translate this, happy are the unhappy. You have to see yourself as you really are. I'm a sinner who needs a Savior, and I'm sorry for what I've done, and I want to change, so I mourn over my condition. Listen, better to mourn now and laugh later than to laugh now and mourn later.
