Voscamp says, “You can be too broken to be.” She also talks about grief here:
“There is no fear in letting tears come.
Sadness is a gift to avoid the nothingness of numbness, and all hard places
need water. Grief is a gift, and after a rain of tears, there is always more of
you than before. Rain always brings growth.”
It’s
Saturday and the day we focus on those families who’ve lost loved ones, maybe
recently, maybe it’s been a while but grief has its own timetable. We pray for
strength for the journey, comfort from the Lord and His people and for love to
surround you through the numbness of coping with what must be dealt with.
Jesus, lover of my soul, bind our wounds and make us whole.
Show
us how to live, one day at a time, giving You glory. Your love never fails,
though sometime our faith does.
