As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about GRIEF. I spoke with a number of people in the last few weeks who have experienced the loss of loved ones. When we recall that pain, we experience GRIEF. One of my friends shared a quote they found that says, “And when nobody wakes you up in the morning, and when nobody waits for you at night, and when you can do whatever you want, what do you call it, freedom or loneliness?”
That is a lot to think about, because whenever there is loss, there is great change. I think that when we are in grief, our emotions go back-and-forth. Every situation is a little different, but the effects of GRIEF are profound!
Another quote I’ve found is, “GRIEF is just love with nowhere to go!” If you, or someone you know, are experiencing grief, then turn to our Lord! Let HIM embrace you and your uncertainty, for Jesus says, “Come to me, all you who are weary, and I will give you rest.”
Today, reach out to a friend who may be grieving. Or, if you yourself are grieving, spend some time with the Lord and feel his comforting embrace.
Have a blessed day!
