Don’t believe the depth of grief is reflective of my faith


Don’t believe the depth of grief is reflective of my faith.
This is a very disturbing time for my family,  as we continue to pray for members of our family who are sick and hospitalized with Covid.
Yes, my heart is broken right now.
💔
My faith has never been stronger and can be a comfort, but this does not remove the pain and trauma that comes when someone suffers from a prolonged or painful illness.
This is however, the sad reality that we live in a mortal, frail, and imperfect world. Tragedies do occur – and there is no immunity from loss.
My faith allows me to be angry, but not angry at God.

Hurt and brokenness is unfair and heart wrenching, for sure.
There are times when I wish I could be as strong as Job, but I’m human. I don’t understand the logic in suffering.
But I do believe that before my heart has broken, God’s heart was first.
💔
And I know that pain never passes, it will ease in time.
I will continue to spend time in prayer and worship and do everything within my control to stay healthy and positive during this horrible pandemic.
My faith and beliefs provide hope.
