Joy and Strength: Devotions for Grief and LossChikamu
Beyond the Pain
When suffering clouds our minds and darkens our days, it can be difficult to imagine a different reality. Though we may feel beaten down by the death of disappointed dreams and hopes that will never materialize the way we had expected, this is not the end of our story.
In a shifting world, where the only certainty we can depend upon is change, let us remember that there is a greater eternal reality awaiting us. God’s expansive love carries us through the dark nights into the bright dawn of his mercy. May our eyes look past these temporary troubles to the eternal hope of his glorious kingdom where his light will never dim and our hopes will never be frustrated.
God, I trust that even when I cannot see your goodness and I struggle to believe for lighter days, you are faithful and true. I depend on you for vision. Let me see from your perspective. I need your help.
