Grief

At one time or another, we all will find ourselves facing a dark journey – the passage through grief.  In a culture that doesn’t like to acknowledge loss or talk about the impact, it is difficult to grieve.  Questions like “Isn’t time for you to just move on?” pierce the hearts of those who have experienced life as they wonder how their lives will ever be “normal” again.  

When you find yourself in the valley of death, God is there.  He can handle your anger, your questions, your pain.  Scripture says that Jesus was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief.  He knows where you are and He is walking with you.
