I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed.
When Grief Dulls the Music
Stop and listen to the breeze whistling through the branches.
Hear the music in the air? That’s creation singing praises to God.
In your grief, you may not have noticed the songs of praise. Loss can pull your ears into dullness.
For just a moment, step into the melody of new life.
Taking Halting Steps in a Broken World
You may stumble as you grieve. You will limp in pain, but keep taking steps.
God’s plan was never for humans to suffer death, but in the brokenness of this world’s rebellion, it happens.
You live in a broken world, and hard things come.
Search for hope despite shattered places.
Discover joy among fallen rocks.
Uncover purpose each morning as you choose to depend on God.
Let God Renew You
There is newness in each day.
Grief seems to have splintered your life, but grief doesn’t have the last word.
Our Heavenly Father does.
God gives new life and new strength.
Along with creation, listen to the music in the air and remember the Lord’s love for you.
Let Him renew you.
A Prayer For You
Father God, thank You for Your healing touch on our lives. You know the pain of grief, yet you draw us into your new life and into your beautiful creation. You promise to renew our heart and we are grateful for that hope. Amen
