2 Corinthians 1:3-5--- Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
Grief rips away at
the heart and can turn a life teeming with meaning into an empty wasteland.
When tears well up in our eyes and grief fills our soul, what are we to do? In
a time of grief, our first instinct should always be to run to God. In God's
arms we find the comfort and warmth of His love. In God's arms, we can find new
meaning and new purpose when the dark days of grief attack us. However, when we
lead lives apart from God in the present or when we think we do not need God in
the present, then when grief comes, God is hard to find. When we share all we
are and share all we have with God when the times are good, He most surely
guides and comforts us when times of grief overwhelm us. When you pour out your
heart and love for God today, no matter what grief might fall into your life
tomorrow, all the love you gave Him comes back one thousand fold when you need
Him the most.
