Buried heart

From Day 58 of Grief Bites, A New Approach'

When someone goes through grief, it as though their very heart is buried deep into the cold ground.

It is up to each person whether they will allow God to water, nurture, and grow the seeds of their personal grief...or if they choose to allow a root of bitterness to choke out the seeds.

It is TOTALLY possible to emerge stronger from grief and to beautifully bloom with the help of God's healing hand.

Once someone has gone through grief trusting God, they find greater JOY and the seeds of their grief BLOOM and become a sweet fragrance that draws a hurting world to their testimony.

Although life is not fair, and God never willingly causes grief, He does entrust specific heartaches to the individuals He knows will responsibly shine the brightest light through their storms.

Who can you be a light to in spite of grief?

Who will see your joy and loyalty to God in spite of your heartache?

Verse:
Matthew 5:16: Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
