That horrible ache that can't be fixed!!
That deep hole of emptiness that can't be filled!!!
Deep yearning, searching out why, wanting that suffering just to end!
Loss is inevitable!
You can't escape it!
It's effects start down deep in your soul and tears out your heart until you have no rest!
We must mourn, it helps release our pain.
We must mourn with God, letting Him carry our burden.
He alone has the remedy for heartache!
Abundant peace will come!
There is no time period attached to its arrival.
Waiting is the hard part.
Search the scriptures for your peace.
But we can never loose sight of the fact that death came to us because of sin!
In the garden where the first man and woman were placed, they broke fellowship with God, our maker, in that place He prepared for us.
Forever changing the beauty of God's plan and making God sad he created His beings.
A place of beauty prepared by a loving God for His creation, that has been forever distorted by our own actions.
All is not lost!
God made the way of escape from a doomed life of sin.
A most miraculous way to be forgiven, your slate wiped clean, making you a new creation by the most humble gift ever possible.
Death of a spotless Lamb, humbly, willingly, graciously and with an obedience unmatched by another.
Christ, on a cross, wholly taking your sin, being briefly separated from His Father God, but rising the third day to His everlasting kingdom.
This is why we search for good coming out of tragedy.
This is why we know that God uses tragedy to reach the coldest heart.
9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,
10 and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. - Colossians 2:9-10
13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. - Colossians 2:13-14
