From Day 27 of Grief Bites.
It is vital to make God our #1 priority during times of loss and grief. Only He can truly guide us through a loss or grief experience where we make it to the other side of the experience in better shape.
The worst thing that can happen during times of loss or grief is to reject or neglect our relationship with God.
His love is extravagant and He will be found by anyone who seeks Him with their whole heart.
Once we feel the presence and love of God, our entire heart and the world around us takes on a whole new meaning.
We become alive for Him...and He then can mightily use us to be "life" to others.
Personal notes:
Definition of "extravagant": lacking restraint in spending money or using resources; costing too much money; exceeding what is reasonable or appropriate; absurd
I have never heard this word to explain God's love. I'm torn on it. I like the "lacking restraint" part. "Absurd" is ok but I don't want it making fun of His love. His love did cost too much-the life of His Son. Hmm...interesting.
