Suffering is a very real part of this world. We cannot escape its chokehold when it chooses to pour its wrath upon us. We just have to be brave like the apostle Paul and think beyond the suffering to our heavenly home with Jesus.
Grief is a type of suffering. It’s a very real part of our human design. Jesus grieved at Lazarus’s death…even though he knew he was going to bring him back. God gave us a heart that can hurt, and it often does.
To be able to feel is a gift. God in his wisdom designed us with all of our emotions. Feeling can be a form of healing. Of course, as with anything, there are times when feeling grief can consume us after a long period of time. It can affect us mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. There is a fine line to walk between healthy and unhealthy.
So focus on heaven to ease the pains of this day. Be like Paul. ♥️

I wish the world thought just like you. Life would be so much better if we were all more understanding of others suffering. No matter what that suffering might be.
