The lady who wrote the Grief Bites series has an amazing-looking book I need to get and a Facebook page that is wonderful so far. I'm glad to still have encouraging things to read from her because I was sad when the two devotional series (is there a plural of series?) I went through ended. Her name is Kim Niles.
I tried to share this post on my Facebook page but the only thing that showed up on my wall was the link to the page. It's an amazing perspective and a lovely thought.
Today, as I was talking to someone who deeply misses a loved one, we were talking about how we long for the day when we will be able to hug our treasured loved ones again and talk with them face to face.
I wonder if God ever feels the same way?...The Bible says He knew each of us before He even knit us together in our mother's womb. God sends His children to earth to be born to specific parents and families so they can grow up to fulfill their life purpose. I bet He longs for the day when He finally gets to talk to each of us face to face and hug all of us.
He doesn't need us...yet He WANTS us--He loves us and desires to be the most important part of our life.
God is so amazing to let us be here on earth and to enjoy our loved ones before HE fully gets time with us. What a selfless act of genuine love to share our loved ones and us with our family and friends until He calls all of us back Home.
When the temptation comes in to make us believe God took a loved one away from us, we need to realize that it was the opposite. We lovingly borrowed our loved ones from Him.
