About grief turned to joy…

But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. † He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. † All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you. † "In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me." † Some of his disciples said to one another, "What does he mean by saying, \'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,' and 'Because I am going to the Father'?" † They kept asking, "What does he mean by 'a little while'? We don\'t understand what he is saying." † Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, "Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, 'In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me'? † I tell you the truth, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. † A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. † So with you: Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy. † In that day you will no longer ask me anything. I tell you the truth, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. † While I was with them, I protected them and kept them safe by that name you gave me. None has been lost except the one doomed to destruction so that Scripture would be fulfilled. † "I am coming to you now, but I say these things while I am still in the world, so that they may have the full measure of my joy within them. † I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world." †
