Grief Is a Blanket

Grief is like a blanket of darkness. We grieve because we love, and we grieve because we lose what we love. It’s a dark and painful place.

You might be there right now. Can I encourage you? There is comfort for you; you do not have to grieve alone.

Jesus said that those who grieve are blessed, because He will comfort them. In the darkness and heaviness of grief, there is only ONE, only One who has the power and the capacity to reach down, spiritually into the depths of our souls and comfort us.

It’s not a magic trick or self-help. There is a powerful, great God, and He knows you and He loves you. He sees your pain, and He offers you comfort.

Always remember, there is hope with God.
