Yesterday is over. Sad as that may seem, change is the essence of life. Sometimes when we lose someone, our pain is a small price to pay for their peace.

I know it's just a TV show, but sometimes profound wisdom is found in strange places. I miss my Mom and Dad terribly, I still grieve their deaths, but I choose to take solace knowing they are with God. No cancer, no heart disease, no pain.
in John 14:27 Jesus tells us "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid."
Sometimes that peace is found in a memory, a smell, or the words of a character on a TV series.
Sometimes, that peace comes in the form of death even if we don't understand.
Isaiah 55:8-9 tells us 8 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. 9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Understanding is not necessary, Faith and Trust in the wisdom of God is.
“Weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning” Psalm 30:5
It is ok to grieve. In fact, it is essential, we are dealing with our own loss. Loss that changes us in our soul and in unimaginable profound ways. However, God promises us we will smile again. His love will restore us.
If you're hurting today, I pray you will find relief in the Knowledge that you are loved by God. Trust His Promise in Hebrews 13:5 "I will never leave you, nor forsake you."
You will smile again.
