To the woman I met last night: I want you to know that you are not alone. You have many of us who are your sisters and are with you, to hear you, to comfort you, to be there for you, to remind you…of your strength, and of God’s love. You have Jesus himself with you; suffering every bit of it with you; crying as hard and as deeply as you. Unlike us, He really knows what you are feeling and going through...to the core. He is with you.
God did not take two of your three sons. He did not remove your youngest from this earth in a drunk-driving accident, and He did not leave your middle son incapacitated from war. It was the enemy -working through others- who took your boys. And God, who loves your sons beyond comprehension, and who loves you more than anything, cries with you, and is with you. It is so hard to believe now but every single gut-wrenching tear you shed, He is catching in His hands and they WILL become blessings showered back on you- each and every one.
He will get you through this…find ways to send you moments of peacefulness and comfort to help in your mourning and grief. You are in such a velley of darkness right now - but know that you PASS THROUGH it, walk through it. I know God is walking with you. He can carry you and comfort you.
You will be comforted. You have great faith and He will send you people who provide comfort, laughter, a hug, and a shoulder. ..Just like last night. Use us. We are here, He is with you, and He loves you.
I don't know how to get in touch with you directly. But I have faith that you will receive this message - if not from me, from other members of Chirst's body. We care about you, share in your pain, and pray for healing.
Those of you reading this, please pray for my new unknown friend - that God's will will someday become known - -somehow - -from this tragedy, and her pain will somehow turn into triumph.
