"'Surely the bridegroom's attendants cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is still with them? “ Mt9, 14
A true believer, a Christian does not feel sad because even orphaned is not an orphan because even in the knowledge of his/her fallibility still lives in God’s life-giving sanctifying love !! A believer even in the valley of suffering walks hand in hand with his/her betrothed with hopeful joy their life-journey! For the one who lives with Christ even through the darkest , most painful hours, grieving the comforting hope , the certain knowledge will shine through that my Creator, my Redeemer loves me and is great enough to fulfil His promise to take me to the Kingdom of Heaven !!
With the calm, joyful faith of the redeemed people ,

Then John's disciples came to Jesus and said, 'Why is it that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not?'
Jesus replied, 'Surely the bridegroom's attendants cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is still with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.
No one puts a piece of unshrunken cloth onto an old cloak, because the patch pulls away from the cloak and the tear gets worse. Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the skins burst, the wine runs out, and the skins are lost. No; they put new wine in fresh skins and both are preserved.’
Matthew 9, 14-17
