Psalm 25:1, 4-5 – In you, Lord my God, I put my trust. Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths. 5 Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
For the greatest of the concerns of the soul we trust in Jesus, we trust only in God. Also for the broken-hearted there is only one who can heal all and restore hope. We must trust God in all affairs of the heart and soul. When a loved one dies, or leaves by choice, the wound is deep and debilitating. It all can feel so hopeless. Only God can help.
It is best to learn to trust before the wound. Then, though a mighty blow strike you down, knocking you to the floor in tears and the mud, the Lord God Almighty Himself, will reach to you, before you reach to Him, and will lift you. If He is loved and cherished as none else is, then none else can be cherished as He is. Therefore, though the person we love is no longer with us, we always have the one we love the most. Therefore, though the loss hurts deeply, we know it is not something that cannot be overcome. We know the loss of others, but we will never know the loss of God. He will never, not ever, leave us alone. He is always with us. He always loves us. Since God is our everything, we can never lose what we love the most. Yes, we can be hurt, but never hopeless, for God who is always faithful our hope. It is in Him we trust. Family and Friends, let’s prepare ourselves. We must love God with a desperate, yet assured and confident love. Only because of who He is may we love in such a way. Only because we personally and intimately know Him is that possible. Then, we may be hurt, but never in a hopeless estate because God Himself is with us. Let Him be our love and strength. He never fails. Let’s be prepared but if one has not known the love of God, know that at all times, at any time, and in all circumstances, He wants all to grab His outstretched hands to be pulled free by Him. Know Jesus, know God. Praise God!
