Encouragement comes in all forms.....God works through various means to build us up in our life, trials, sorrows, sufferings. Personal loss, grief can come in many ways too.....the loss of a spouse, child, job, marriage, relationship, trauma......
The following paragraph is from an email through an online support system called "Griefshare" and I found this particularly warming today, it reaffirms how I believe - nothing surprises our Lord, He does know all and loves even me and you!
"Be encouraged that regardless of how your grief appears to you or others, it has a precious uniqueness to the One who created you. God, who knows intimately your personality, your relationships, and the experiences of your life, knows your grief and isn't shocked or surprised by your responses."
Psalm 139 is a gentle reminder as well at how deeply God knows us, He is our Creator - sometimes we lose sight of that and as children do with their parents, if we are not visible to them they think one cannot see them stumble when they fall into disobedience. We do the same thing with our Creator.
