My heart has been grieving for the families devastated by the flood that swept their loved ones away. In an hour’s time, those who were are no more. My heart breaks for the loss of those I’ve never met, because God created each one and knows them each by name.
Couples who had this many children are grieving the ones missing at their table tonight. I cannot imagine their pain. But I know the One who can.
This morning as I awoke hearing a higher total of those who have died, this song came to mind. I wasn’t even sure if the lyrics would be helpful—until I listened.
I pray this song will turn grieving hearts to the only One who understands such loss. Our Father willingly gave His only Son, so we could have hope; a hope which enables us to say, “Goodbye’s not the end.”
Pray with us for all those grieving as we weep with those who weep. We are grateful to say we are not without hope. Our confidence is this,
“The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”
Psalm 34:18 ESV
With broken hearts,
