GO AHEAD AND GRIEVE

Several years ago, I lost Lois, one of my dearest and oldest friends, and I have grieved over her leaving me, so very much!
We had been on the "real good friends" list for a good 50 years,atleast, so this has been hard for me.......
This morning, though, while listening to "The Light", one of the speakers said something that really hit home to my heart, and I think that maybe my grieving heart may finally be healing!
Just as Jesus grieved over the death of His dear friend,Lazarus,
He could also rejoice!
This He could do, because He would see him again.
He knew the promise that weeping only lasts for a moment, but "joy cometh in the morning".....We just have to wait!
Our Lord is also concerned about us, when we grieve. Just as Jesus thought about Lazarus, and knew He would see him again, He has also given us this same outlook, in His promise of Hope!
I think this is the process He wants us to go through to become more like Him too!
No, sometimes it's not fun.....
No, sometimes it's not easy either.....
Yes, it's becoming more like Christ, so go ahead and grieve, if you've lost someone.
He'll be right there for you.....
