When Loved Ones Are Walking Through The Valley...
A friend of mine recently
experienced a heart-breaking tragedy. As numb with shock as I was, I can barely
begin to imagine her pain. In that instant I wished I could wrap my arms tight
around her and weep. Yet, unable to be at her side, I just wept, my heart
breaking for all that she was going through.
Of course the “whys” came. And no
answer that made any semblance of sense. All I could do was pray. But what to
pray for at such a time? Wishing it had never happened?
I don’t have any answers for the
“whys”. They still rattle around in my head. But in all the confusion, pain and
grief, as the world spins around crazily, there is One Constant. So though
there is anger and bewilderment, I can only hold on to Him until the world
rights itself.
The future
is a blank without a view.
That which
I wanted most, You have denied;
I cannot
understand (and I have tried);
There’s
nothing I can do but wait on You.
