Grieving can move you to isolation.
That's what Jesus did when He heard about the death of His cousin John the Baptist.
"When Jesus heard of it, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself" - Matthew 14:13
Then Jesus teaches us an important lesson.
That GRIEVING is not the final destination.
GRIEVING is good but it should not end there.
GIVING follows our time of GRIEVING.
"When he disembarked & saw the vast crowd, his heart was moved with pity for them, & he cured their sick" - Matthew 14:14
He felt pity & gives a blessing to the vast crowd. Jesus didn't only cure the sick, He fed them too. At least 5,000 were fed that day.
My friend, give yourself time to GRIEVE.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Seek God during that time of grieving.
Ask Him questions. Ask for His guidance.
Then move on & start GIVING.
LIFE GOES ON.
That's the example of Jesus to all of us as we start this week.
May you have a powerful & blessed week! - alvinfabella@yahoo.com
