The Face of God Illuminated in the Light of Grief (ePub)

No Test Without a Testimony
I would like to share some experiences that brought me closer than I had ever imagined to God. I would like to take this opportunity to show you how grief makes God clearer.

Throughout this book I hope you share in the knowledge and experience that I gained from the collapse of the entirety of my world. In 2015 death knocked on my door once again. I felt so hopeless and despondent. it felt new. Like I had never lost anyone before even though I had.

The beauty of it all is, l experienced Gods grace and mercy through it all. When David said, Goodness and mercy will follow me, he was right. In my struggle with grief, I learned to let go and allow the peace of God to take over my bleeding heart. Pain and sorrow were real, and no one could bear the weight of grief alone and survive. I couldnt carry my loss alone; l had to depend on God and his presence. I let him in my life, and it was like having a friend walking with me through a dark and dangerous tunnel. He carried me through a broken heart, through streams of tears and fear, and then through a safe haven of peace and joy. We walked together on the path to recovery while l talked with him and he talked back to me. I grew to trust him and became mature and able to love him through all the seasons of life. I know without a shadow of doubt that in my time of sorrow, he was there to comfort me and to lift my soul. I hope to comfort you as l share with you what has worked for me.
