I think most people in there life will lose someone,who has meant a great deal to them. I have lost several in my lifetime. A son or daughter is particularly tough! Upon the loss of my Mom just this September Christmas will be most difficult for my brother and I,as this was her most favorite time of the year. Of all the gifts Jesus himself has,as being a gift to us all. One of his most beloved gifts, he gives without measure,is his very comfort! ( 2 cor 1:3-7) Jesus stores our tears( psalms 56:8) And in the night time,when all is quiet upon my bed, I consider our Jesus,and question sometimes the purpose of such events in all of our lives.( psalm 63:6-8)
The grieve of ones heart can indeed be large in feeling and emotion,and it is then Holy Spirit falls upon my tears,to remind me( psalms 30:5 His favor is for a lifetime,weeping may last for the night,But a shout of joy comes in the morning! And so it is morning,and I am still here,another day I have to be thankful,and to hopefully bless another in my presence.For it is our Jesus who from comforting us,we in him can give great comfort to another. And with this comfort bless his most Holy Name in thankfulness,and yes love.For now is the time,and hopefully this season will last long,to remember what we have,rather then what we need,to give, rather then always look to receive,to comfort,when we ourselves are hurting,yes to have courage,not just for ourselves,but rather for those who truly need courage!
We were not created to suffer,we are created to learn just what is the length, and breath, and height and yes depth of God's love,( eph 3:17-19) yes to endure till the end!!( heb 10:36)and when we find out this answer,peace becomes established forever in our hearts and in our minds,to show another Jesus in us! And we his children can now give that same love freely, because as his children we understand this love,as Jesus first loved us In!( 1 john 4:17-19!!) May all those who have lost so much,be able as Jesus did,to give so much love back to another,who so needs it today! For in this brothers and sisters is both the time and the season to stay in, one to another! Blessing all!
