Believing in God

Come, sit, and enjoy a cup of tea or coffee in the comfort of the Lord:  "Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice."  Ephesians 4:31

Losing someone you love can forever redefine who you are and how you think. 

Several years ago, I stood at the coffin of my baby sister after a medical complication took her from us.

I was devastated. Hopeless. Angry.

This is the reality of deep grief: Even when you love God and believe in His promises, it takes time. It takes wading through an ocean of tears. It takes prayer.

Then one day you take off the blanket of deep grief. You fold it and tuck it away. You no longer hate it or resist it. For underneath it, wondrous things have happened over time. 

Things that could only have come about when divine hope intersects with a broken world.
Finally, you can see years stretching before you once again. You look up, wipe a tear and find it’s still possible to live and love life.
