Grief at times can be a misunderstanding, a confusion of the circumstances, a failure to see and sense the true happenings of a situation. We need inner strength to console ourselves, a substance of a hopeful future that is grasped “by Faith”.
Faith, our true inner beliefs, our deep-seated knowing, and understanding can lift us up quickly and establish situational clarity.
Clarity allows, or extinguishes our ability to process our grief in a healthy manner dependent on our past choices in regards to what we believe. Clarity is the necessary agent required to deal with, and understand the effects our grief will have on our ability to console ourselves.
This clarity can be defined as soul peace, for God is not a God of confusion but of peace. Soul peace would eliminate the discomforting feelings and emotions and deliver you out of the heaviness and oppression associated with the grief.
Therefore let us make every effort to do what leads to peace. Calling on God can enlist Him to lead you and start the healing process. Amen!
Unchecked grief robs us of our natural healing process, but faith in God propels our healing process by a soothing of the mind, heart, and emotions. Our faith in God becomes the seat of our emotions and that gives us a clear place to sit. Seated with God in heavenly places alleviates the pressure that is causing our grief.
If we continue to leave our emotions unchecked, we will allow our imagination the opportunity to oppress us, burdening us down with fear, anger, or guilt, and this weight will keep us from climbing out of a heightened state of grief.
As grief gets its grip we enter into sadness or a feeling of hopelessness and this is the point where we must look up to, and cry out to God for help.
In times of despair, we need spiritual encouragement and we need it quickly, calling a personal friend, a trusted minister, or a Christian counselor, without delay.
You see at this point we need to be guided in a different direction, set on a corrective trajectory, leading back to that soul peace that we allowed ourselves to drift away from. Amen!
Soul peace is a place where we find our grounding, soul peace is an inherent character of God, and this soul peace ends the agitation that is causing continued grief.
Soul peace is actually the desire of us all, but realizing where it comes from takes words of encouragement, words of Godly wisdom, and a hearing of the Word of God that would lead us back to “Faith”.
A spiritual sensation that would override all our sadness and grief and replace it with hope, a hope of things not yet experienced but longed and looked to ‘by faith”.
Heart faith looks to and accepts the feelings that it is longing for, reaching towards, and then that heart faith lays hold of the substance that it was clinging to all the time, Soul Peace.
Faith is the comforting inner peace that causes us to prevail over sadness and grief, then sadness and grief are replaced by unfailing love and redemptive compassion for others that propels us forward, up and out of our feelings of despair and back into caring for ourselves and others.
Giving and receiving care, being ourselves comforted by God, and then being equipped to care and comfort others, this is the true meaning of our living and being.
Living is being full of life, and life is the condition that distinguishes, our unity with God and others, and leads us on a path of continual change.
By faith, we change from Glory to Glory, and by loving one another as we love ourselves we are distinguished as children of God.
From grief to glory, that is the plight of everyone who chooses to accept God and His goodness over the negative pull that works to cut us off from true living.
So, mourn with those who mourn, even take time to experience and process grief, but remember that rejoicing is just around the corner.
Come back to life today, seek love and help today, while it is still called “today”.
