When Grief Meets Grace

Grief is not the end of our story, but a place where God meets us with His grace.

There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

Often grief hits us in different seasons:

» Winter – A season of endings and closure, a hard season.

» Spring – A season of possibility and potential.

» Summer – A season of growth.

» Fall – The apex of seasons.

A way to progress through the seasons of grief is to carry a posture of gratitude.

Pray About Everything + Petition/Present Your Requests to God + Give Thanks for Everything = Peace.

When Nehemiah shared a greater vision, the Israelites shifted their focus from their rubble to God. We, too, have a greater vision: heaven.

When we fix our eyes on the eternal, it doesn’t remove our pain, but it gives us hope beyond it.
