I am very sorry for your loss. The verse that has become so real and personal to me in my own personal trials of late is from 1 Peter 5:7 "Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." Sometimes, I have to cast them multiple times a day, but he takes them every time.

The deep love of Je...Dear one, beloved of the Lord. The deep love of Jesus, through my brothers and sisters in Christ, gave me this wisdom, as I walked through deep dark valleys of painful losses in my life, time and again, many years ago. I offer this to you, with the prayer for seasons of refreshing and peace in your valleys: How heavy must have been our brother Noah's heart as he continued to act on Gods instruction for ?? around one hundred years. Very likely, he bore constant heckling, even harassment for taking one step after another on the path of following his God. Then , one day, it started to rain. Relief will come to you. Caleb, sent in as one of the spies, stood against the realities of giants. "Voices" pointed to the likelihood of being overwhelmed. He told the voices, "Yes, I saw the giants, too. But God is on our side". God will remove the giants of heartache that you face. Joseph told his brothers, when they realized he recognized them in Pharoah's court and assumed he would kill them, "It wasn't you who did this evil. God allowed it so that an entire nation could be preserved." A legacy of faith is being preserved through your path of following Jesus while passing through deep, unfair sorrows. He is with you and will heal your broken heart. The one who "keeps all our tears in a bottle", never fails. God bless you and your beautiful family dear one. I offer my prayers for Esther also.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03091628893479351019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-21098564890184920142021-04-29T14:44:25.848-04:002021-04-29T14:44:25.848-04:00Thank you for your honesty.

Some grief is deep and wide, others is a dull ache, sometimes a sharp pain, and it is not meant to be compared with others, it is our story with Jesus! If you haven't read Adore by Sara Hagerty I think you would be blessed by it. Lean on sister, he is faithful.
