“This is the beauty of the gospel. He sees us, even when we are blind. He looks for us during the moments we hide and run. He lovingly calls us while we are in our most ungodly state, graciously inviting us to come to the realization that His Son, Jesus, died for our sins. God gives us an opportunity at life everlasting … displaying His grace to us over and over again until the day we meet Him.”

Our enemy seeks to draw us into these things for superficial yet instantaneous comfort, instead of sitting and dealing with our grief in a healthy way.”
