Grief drives men into habits of serious reflections, sharpens the understanding and softens the heart. -John Adams
Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. Psalm 130:1
How often has the Lord allowed things to come into our lives causing us to weep, driving us to our knees and has us crying out to Him? Grief has the way of changing our perspective on things. The things we thought were so important to us we find it isn’t so important after all. It has a way of getting our eyes back on God.
Let’s rejoice in the important things God has given us today; Our Saviour’s love, family, friends, church, a place to work, roof over our head and shoes on your feet (even if they’re flip flops) to mention a few. If and when grief does come our way—we can still rejoice in and through those valleys because the Lord is right there with us in them!
