Grief Bites: Day 3

Grief Bites: A New Approach to Growing Through Grief

Day 3
Devotional: Sometimes, those going through grief feel all alone. The great news is this: We are never alone.
God has not forgotten about you in your time of heartache and loss…

and He never will.

When faced with deep grief, we can be tempted to believe we have been forsaken. We can feel terribly alone, as though no one could possibly understand the depth of our heart’s cries. There IS someone who can indeed relate to our heartaches in life…God.

God cares so much about our grief and He can truly understand each and every teardrop that falls. In fact, He cards so much about you that He has collected EVERY tear you’ve ever cried.

One day, while I was going through deep heartache, I began to study what the Bible had to say about grief. I found God’s Word had amazing blueprints for grief, heartache, loss, and trials.

Today, I invite you to do the same thing I did—do a personal study on grief as you read God’s word. It’s a fascinating study that will bring you closer to God’s heart than you could ever imagine.

How amazing and beautiful it is that God cares so deeply about us that He collects every tear we cry and records each sorry we ever experience?

We serve a great God who will be with us, and even carry us, through life’s heartaches.

God has a great purpose for your life…seek His heart to find it!

This year, consider completely reading the entire Bible on YouVersion while doing a personal bible study to see what God says about grief, heartache, loss, and trials throughout His Word (I’m still working on this). Like I said, it truly is a fascinating study that will bring you closer to God’s heart than you can imagine.

Psalms 56:8
Thou numberest my wanderings: Put thou my tears into thy bottle; Are they not in thy book?

Have a Blessed Day!
