Are ya hurtin’ some today? Had some losses?

So sorry. Wish I had comforting words for you. I know it can get better.  

Have ya suffered some loss or rejection? Other than that? 

Sorry ‘bout it. 

Society says bury your griefs. All alone.. just stuff it all. Time heals all things. 

I say differently. Some over a whole lot of time, not turning towards God, don’t experience any healing. I say...

Feel your feelings even the grief. Face it, review your loss(es) ..and wisely express it. You can heal. There is One who can easily do that. Blessed are those who mourn their losses. They shall be encouraged, shall be comforted, shall be made strong and well. Yes, you can be well and strong. Suffering can purify us -- it can make such beautiful people.

By grace Jesus brings beauty for ashes. 

Who hasn’t had any losses here?

Facts to stand on: God still loves you, hasn't bailed -- he's there for you. Prayerfully meditate upon these truths. Won't forsake ya. That's not his nature.
