Embrace Grief & Loss

And you may notice that not everyone who suffers a lot of grief and loss actually grows from it… In fact, most people get damaged by it and may get bitter or cynical or withdrawn… Loss is not an automatic path to growth and maturity.

But if we EMBRACE grief and loss, in the way the gospel enables we don’t simply experience it or endure grief and loss but we let it form us. In some sense, you dwell on or reflect on it, and you lament the loss before God who uses it for good in you… and even those around you.
