comes in all different shapes & sizes.
GRIEF~
over the loss of a job.
GRIEF~
over the loss of a relationship.
GRIEF~
over a dream unfulfilled.
And the biggest
GRIEF~
over the loss of a loved one
who is now in JESUS' arms.
GRIEF ~
Broken heartedness~
Facing something that you don't want to have to face,
but have no choice but to face it.
GRIEF~
Facing great loss in its' face.
Yesterday we said
"see you later"
to a friend,
who left so many loved ones behind.
So many emotions
as we laughed at the stories
in remembrance of this man,
yet crying with our hearts.
Now what?
Life goes on today
for this family
as they begin
a new life, a different life
with a void in their hearts
that they will have to face with
GRIEF.
GRIEF~
Facing something that you don't want to have to face,
but have no choice but to face it,
but faced with
JESUS~
who came with a great promise~
"and HE will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be death;
there will no longer be sorrow and anguish, or crying, or pain;
for the former order of things has passed away”(Revelation 21:4)
as
HE
walks alongside us in our
GRIEF~
"The LORD is close to the brokenhearted.
He saves those whose spirits have been crushed" (Psalm 34:18)
GRIEF~
a word that we hate to hear,
yet a place where
GOD
meets us in the midst of it
as
HE IS
Forever Faithful~
filling every nook & cranny of our
broken heartedness
with more of
HIM
that loves us
back together in every broken place.
"But this I call to mind, & therefore I have hope:
The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; HIS mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness"
(Lamentations 3:21-23)
