When Grief Meets Grace
Manage episode 493289432 series 3324280
What does unconditional love look like in the face of unimaginable suffering? The answer arrives in the form of a father's letter that will break your heart and rebuild it in the same reading.
The letter reveals something profound about love's true nature. "Bristol, you taught me how to love," the father writes, acknowledging that he learned to love her through every difficulty – when she could no longer speak, when her body contorted, when she needed diapers for ten years. He loved her "when I was close to God and when He seemed far away, when I was full of faith and also when I was angry at Him." His testimony reminds us that genuine love transcends circumstances and reciprocity.
If you're facing loss today, may you find strength in knowing you're not alone. God remains present, offering not easy answers but His unfailing presence. Join me again tomorrow as we continue finding perspective for life's most challenging moments.
