Ezra.

"one could not distinguish the voice of the shout of joy, 

from the noise of the weeping of the people;...."

Ezra 3:13

Coming from one of Pastor Allen's previous messages, he spent a whole night talking on this verse; how the priests had restored the holy altars, and all the emotions were so overwhelming. The weeping of the people was merely bittersweet; they were restoring the temple the altars, what was most sacred to them. Then Pastor Allen said something that will resonate in my mind for years to come.

"If tears and laughter can come so close together, maybe joy from your sorrows is closer than you think".
