Confirmed Grief is

Today in church the Holy Spirit showed up, for all who where there to worship God. I felt his presence on the way to church as well as when I got up this morning, I went to church expecting Him to be there.

Everyone needs to understand, I know God, Jesus his Son, and The Holy Spirit, They are my friends, my family, and My Lord. I have family here on earth and I love them, I have family who have already gone home to heaven, I envy them as well as miss them. I truly miss Martha and some days wish I had gone with her when she died. That is normal when you spend twenty four years married to a person you love, it is also normal for everyone you love. I would not have it any other way, I have begun to understand why grief is a good thing, it reminds you that Love is important. The line, it is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all. This became real to me this year and I believe it to be true. Grief also reminds you how human you are, there is no greater emotional impact on your life, than to lose someone you truly loved. So why did I write all of that, With the beginning about how God showed up at church this morning? Well here we go, in John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life“. God gave us his only Son to be tortured, crucified, and die, as the perfect sacrifice so we can be forgiven for our sins. This removed the separation from God, so his Spirit could meet us where we are. The Word of God showed us that God grieved, the sun went dark, the earth quaked, as well as the temple curtain that separated the people from the holy of holies was torn from the top to the bottom. We cannot understand that kind of love without grief, we cannot understand the true sacrifice of God, without understanding death. Now Jesus was resurrected, but God grieved, we know that we are made in Gods image therefore if God grieves we do too. I believe that Gods Spirit Showed up today to meet with me, and everyone that was there. But he meet with me at the moment I needed confirmation of his presence in my life. The moment I needed confirmation of this blog. He confirmed what I am doing is important, not Just for me.

I love you all,
