I think we should allow healthy space for grief! There is grace for grief!<br />Jesus grieved privately AND publicly.<br />We see him go out alone on the boat to grieve when John is beheaded. He cries out loud at the tomb of Lazarus(although he knew he would resurrect him in just moments - he shared the grief of his friends!)He cries aloud over Jerusalem nearing the cross after he has called all the woes on the pharisees... his heart was broken to mother his people!<br /><br />I think when we realize God is not ashamed of our grief and He makes space for it - it's freeing and it SHOULD help us to administer Grace to people in their grief too?<br />The Imperfect Sojournerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07456347543794260314noreply@blogger.com
