"Grief [is] expected, but it is different from the grief of the world. There is a difference between tears of hope and tears of hopelessness." - Erwin Lutzer
If we profess to believe in Jesus Christ, we can grieve, but we have an eternal hope and peace that we have not seen the last of our loved ones.
You and all those that are grieving, should grieve, its healthy. Cry those tears. But as hurt and ache gives birth to those tears in your eyes, let the Holy Spirit carry those tears to the ground as seeds of hope. Plant those tears as seeds of hope in Christ so we can see the fruit in His perfect time. The peace of God and love of Christ - that is our reward!
God is in control and has a purpose for everyone and everything. We might not be able to make sense of it now, but He will reveal His plan to us in the days to come. Romans 8:28 says...And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Philippians 4:7 says And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Enjoy The Ride,
Cecil
