A dear friend of mine has lost her mother. After months of suffering through pain as she battled cancer, the Lord called her home this past Wednesday. I'm at a loss of words.
What do you say to someone who has just lost a loved one -- to one who has lost her mother?
What words could possibly be spoken into hearts that are broken in mourning?
Are there any words?
Is just being there for her enough?
Savior, be enough for her...
Speak into this grief,
Into this broken void:
"Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you."
You do not give as the world gives.
Thankfully, no.
You give love
and hope
and peace
and joy to the fullest.
So, may our hearts not be troubled
May we not fear the touch of Death
For it is through his touch that we will be
HOME again
and
Fully, who we were meant to be
We will FINALLY be home.

when i was going through an incredibly painful loss, what comforted me was psalm 23. "though i walk through the valley of SHADOW of death, i shall fear no evil, for His rod and His staff, they comfort me."
because of His sacrifice of losing His beloved on our behalf, we merely experience just a shadow of death and not the death itself. and it is His Kingship/sovereignty, as well as His tender mercies as our Shepherd...
though her loss cannot be fathomed, the Lord grieves with her. my prayers are with her, a.
