Grief is not the
making of us nor is it the breaking of us. Grief is simply the generator of
transformation. God will do the rest.
***
Broken a person
may be. There may be no hope. But from the ashes rises the great phoenix. And
from the ashes of a life burned to the ground comes heat energy for something
utterly new.
***
Loss brings with
it a sense for the end of things. There is no road left on which to travel. A
new road must be found. Along the road of grief meaning is found, but only by
faith.
***
Grief will end
when a new self is unveiled to the self. Grief cannot end until that truth
takes hold of our lives.
***
Brokenness is
beautiful in its own time, for brokenness was made only for that point in time.
From broken beginnings there is the budding of a blossom that will one day
bless the earth with a sweetly fragrant flower.
***
Lose and we may
win, but there is no bruise without the presence of sin. And where a bruise is
worn, the battle tirade is torn. By faith alone can we hope for something out
of loss.
***
Grief sends us
into an unearthly time and there is no reconciling it. It will take us to the
very pit of hell. Let our quiet forbearance eject us from there at the proper
time.
***
Tease out the
flax of a plant and there are many parts. Tease out the feelings in grief, of
which there may be no limit. But be willing and healing will come.
***
Loss is a briar.
It takes a toll upon everything it touches. Surviving grief is like bearing up
under intermittent abrasion.
***
Play for life
and we get to play a game with no knowable rules. But the secret is known in
the end. Keep playing.
***
Broken with no
hope is where the wisest sage has been. Even for a short time, such an
experience of such a place is awesome, indeed, to come back from.
***
What we suffer
in life is but a small sacrifice for the eternal peace possible in the moment
of recovery — yes, in this life.
***
Be blessed to
know that there is much more to life than you can now even know. God is able to
deliver us to heaven.
