The peace of God be with you. I am sure anyone who reads this is in need of peace. Everyone wants happiness for their family and we rejoice when we have moments of happiness we can share with our family and friends. The only real peace, though, comes from God. His joy gives us strength. We are told to mourn with them that mourn, and weep with them that weep. Grief is so painful and everyone handles it differently. But the pain seems like it will never let up. With God's help we do get better. Their is nothing you are going through that God can't help you with. He is our present help in the time of need. I have seen people handle the loss of someone they love in so many different ways. Something tells me that we have just started seeing the "beginning of sorrow" Lord, help us to realize this pain endures for the night but joy comes in the morning. Maybe not tomorrow or the next day but one day soon the Lord will wipe away the tears from our eyes. Don't let anything get between you and God, He is your source of strength. And know this God is not the enemy. The devil came to steal, kill, and destroy. If you are going through horrible pain and grief let God console you, let Him be your strength. Lean on His everlasting arm. For all of you who are hurting, I am praying, it may not mean much to you but I am talking to the Father on your behalf. Trust in Him. Seek Him with all of your heart. Don't let bitterness or anything else keep you from God. I pray that you will find comfort in your time of sorrow.
