Day 2 of Grief Bites, A New Approach...
During life's tough events, we have two choices: resent God and our grief...OR...embrace God and our grief.
When we grow bitter with resentment, we deny ourselves an incredible opportunity...the opportunity to know and understand God at a richer, more intimate level, as well as the opportunity to experience His hope and love that only He can pour into a hurting heart.
Running to God during times of grief has a GREAT reward: it will lead you to His very heart and this will eventually enable you to experience greater JOY...authentic JOY!
We must allow God to paint the entirety of our individual grief's picture so that He receives the credit for what He accomplishes through our situations of grief or loss.
He is faithful to lift you up in due time.
Verse:
1 Peter 5:6-7
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.
Love you boy!
My comments: For the last two statements/sentences, I don't quite get them but they are interesting to think about.
