Grief and Pain
Come unto me when you are under duress, when your life seems a mess, when the pressure is on and you do not want to go on like this. This is the time you need to come to me and let me lighten your load. Your life may feel like it is crumbling before your eyes but that is not the case. Transfer your burdens into my hands and let me sort these things out for you.
Weeping may come in the night but my joy and lightness comes in the morning. Grief and pain are part and parcel as you live in this world, but it is not a permanent fixture in your life. My Spirit whispers into your heart filling your mind with the mind of Christ and reviving your heart once again. The night may seem darker than usual but I am there when you call out my name.
No amount of grief and pain is ever too great for me to handle. My life became a poured-out drink offering just so you could live again. My death on the cross reassured you that you would not have to grieve as the rest of the world grieves. Death has no hold on you, for you were made for eternity. Death is just the passage way into the beginning of eternity with me. There is no fear in death with me, only a promise of victory and life everlasting.
Return your mind to what you know is true. Know that this is not the end but only the beginning. You have great things ahead of you and a wonderful future to look forward to. Life on Earth is fleeting compared to the magnitude of what awaits you. One day you will look back on how you lived and realize this about yourself. Live your life to the fullest extent and make each day count.
See and count the blessings I have poured out on you. All your lifetime I have been protecting you. Every day you awaken give praises and blessings to the God who gave you life. Give your heart and your day to me to create something beautiful in you. Do not waste away grieving over things you cannot control. Ask me for the mindset that you need to move forward in the way you should go.
Keep your eyes fixated on me and do not grieve over things that you cannot control. A time will come when it is your time to return to me and your heart will be full of celebration and thanksgiving. Let your loved one go to be renewed by me and receive a great celebration. Oh, how glorious it will be for you one day as you enter my gates with praise and thanksgiving.
Each one of you has an individual purpose and a particular plan for your life. Do not waste your time grieving over things that are not in your hands to control. My ways are much higher than your ways and there is still more work to be done. See with a renewed vision from me and see the work that is still before you. Your life is just the beginning of a glorious eternity with me.
