I sat with an ink pen this morning and a piece of decorative paper,
attempting to write a note to one of my friend’s co-worker who recently lost his daughter.
I found myself fully aware that there are no right words worth sharing in a time of such deep sorrow.
Absolutely nothing that came into my head that seemed fitting.
The truth is there are no words in the human language that can soften the sharp pain of a tragic loss.
What do we do when we find ourselves wordless?
We make a choice.
We either fill the air with empty words and risk saying the wrong thing
or
admit that we are wordless and let God speak.
This morning, I am thankful that God knew from the very beginning that we would often find ourselves wordless,
so He chose to begin creation with the one Word that could fill all of our wordlessness with meaning.
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God and the Word was God.
John 1:1
Jesus is the only Word that stands the test of time.
He is in the midst of all of our joy and all of our pain.
He walked a road of pain and suffering so we would know we are not alone in ours.
He conquered death so that we could somehow face our grief.
He promises eternal life so we can face temporary separation from those we love.
When someone is grieving, they do not need a lot of words.
They really just need one.
Jesus.
If you find yourself at a loss of words today as you face your own pain or the pain of someone you love,
look to Him who is enough.
El Shaddai – The God That Is More Than Enough
He who keeps His Word and who has the final word is the only Word we need today.
Turn to Him, the Living Word, today.
Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus is one of the songs we shared at Adrienne’s funeral.
Dad helped us chose this song because of its powerful message, and I am forever thankful.
This is where I turn when I am struggling to face the pain of this life.
The Only Word with the power to change everything.
The Only Word worth sharing.
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
