COMFORT IN MOURNING
When I'm Praising God * Excerpted -- "From a Loved One in Heaven" by Martha Snell Nicholson
Weeping may endure for the night, But joy comes in the morning. (Psalm 30:6)
I've lost my loved one, Lord. I thought I would be prepared, but how could I possibly be ready for something like this? It all seems so final. No more chances to share our feelings and retrieve the time, to do and say the things undone. My heart aches. Yet at the same time, I feel Your comforting presence near.
How I praise You for comfort and strength in my time of grief. Little by little, layer by layer, You are healing my heart and soul. I praise You for surrounding me with Your warm, constant presence that helps fill the void within me. Thank You, Lord, for reminding me in Your Word about life everlasting. Because I know my dear one loved You, all isn't final. There is life beyond death where no sadness or pain exists, a life that lasts forever. Someday,You will wipe away all my tears. There will be no need of a moon or stars, or sun because of Your glorious light. There will be no sickness or pain, no sin or hurt feelings. All of this will be gone, never to return!
Even though I have tears and heartache now, I thank You for Your promise that joy will come in the morning.
I realize now You are showing me it isn't my loved one I'm weeping for. It's me. Thank You, God, for Your comfort. I look forward to joining You in heaven someday and being with my love one again. In the meantime, I know I have more to do for You here, Lord, so I will keep going on. I will serve and praise You with all my heart.
* "I would not have you grieved for me today Nor weep beside my vacant chair. Could you but know my daily potion here You would not, could not wish me there.
And so my loved ones, do not grieve for me Around the family board today; Instead, rejoice, for we are one in Him, And so I am not far away."
