1. How does grief feel to you?
How to describe grief...grief is painful, overwhelming, heart wrenching, uncontrollable, and it takes a long time to recover. I find that even when I think I've grown beyond the grief of a loss; just a small word or thought can be a trigger, bringing back the feeling of loss all over again, as if it just happened yesterday.
2. What is the purpose of grieving?
"Every time we suffer loss, we encounter an opportunity for the loss to bring gain for Jesus' sake by allowing His life to be revealed in us." -Beth Moore Pg. 133
3. Why did Jesus delay His coming to heal Lazarus?
For God's glory! When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, the bible says that many of the Jews gathered there, put their faith in Jesus.
4. How can those in Christ experience a satisfying life again after loss?
Grief is natural after experiencing a loss, but if we let Jesus come in and heal our wounded heart He will restore us to a more abundant life. We cannot do it on our own it is only through the power of Christ that we can be made whole again.
