Hidden power

From Day 20 of Grief Bites-this one was especially good-lots of notes! Love you!

Going through loss teaches the worst lessons and the best lessons (I just recorded the best):
    It has the hidden power to be one of the best because loss truly refines and sifts your life,
    relationships, goals, dreams and your beliefs. Not a fun process...not at all...but you gain a truly
    authentic life that is more genuine and real than ever before.

If you are battling loss, it is easy to think that God didn't protect you. It is easier to think that nobody cares and that nobody can relate to what you are going through.

Although your pain is great, please don't miss out on the little gifts God has for you.

You now have what many do not have: the ability to truly empathize and encourage others who are going though loss.

Help others

2 Corinthians 1:3-4:  Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.

Deuteronomy 31:8:  And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed.
