Mourning for Jesus

Jesus said that "....when the bridegroom is gone then they will mourn and then they will fast..." (Matt. 9:15) So how often do we fast? Do we truly long for Him? Do we mourn His absence? Because He did say " ...blessed are those who mourn..." (Matt. 5:4), and He promised a comforter (John 14:16).

Jesus also longs for us. He too, fasts for us, mourning and longing to be with us (Matt. 26:29 and Luke 22:16). So I'm forced to ask myself, " Do I long for Him the way He longs for me?" and " Do I love Him the way He Loves me?" Willing to sacrifice everything and withold nothing
