To those of you who are grieving the loss of a loved one, I want you to know that you are not alone. I’ve heard it said, “Grief is love with no place to go.” Though this statement may sound good, I don’t totally agree. Love is transcendent and if God can pour out His love to all of humanity from the third heaven, I believe that it would be safe to opine that our loved ones who now reside in the third heaven with God can also feel the our love that continues to resonates for them within us.
Hebrews 12:1 says, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.”
If they can witness and cheer for us then I am pretty positive that we can and they can sense the love that continues to remain in each of our beings!
Make no mistake, love comes before grief and love with be there during and after grief!
So, if this messages is speaking to you in your grief journey let me encourage you with these words found in 2 Corinthians 1:3-4, “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
