Elevate GriefSample

Did you know that even Jesus experienced grief? He was deeply moved by the loss of his friend, Lazarus. Yes, that’s right, the Savior of the world grieved just like we do! This can actually give us encouragement that God not only knows what we’re feeling and experiencing, but God can actually relate to our grief. Jesus has experienced loss and pain. As Scripture tells us, He has wept in the face of it. Knowing this could change everything about the way you see Jesus in your pain. He doesn’t just give us hope and encouragement every day, but He also understands our suffering. In that, we can remember we’re never alone in our pain.

Today, can you think of anyone who can relate to what you’ve experienced? Call them! Ask them how they got through it and be encouraged by the perseverance and strength they received from Jesus.
