Bible Verse of The Day – 3-14-19

Ecclesiastes 3:4 (NKJV) 4 A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance…

Are we grieving over someone or a situation today?

We should not take our feelings lightly. Pay attention to them. Don’t push them down and hold them in. Take the time we need to fully recover.

Loss is a natural part of life, and grief is a natural part of loss. It’s important that we don’t cut ourselves short and suppress it. We need to go through it, to weep and to mourn at times.

Our health and the state of mind that we are in are important to God. What we are going through will either make us or break us, depending on whether we take the time we need to go through it properly. How we feel and how we function each day depends on the time we take to tend to our own needs.

A lot of times people won’t get their full healing because they put everyone and everything else before themselves. They put themselves last and just keep plowing through every day, hurting from the grief they carry.

You are important and you need your time to heal.

We can’t ignore it and work long hours to get through it, pretending it’s not there. We have to face it. And when we do, God will show us what it will take to come out of it feeling better, stronger and healthier.

Grieving over anything should only last for a season not our whole life. Being happy must come again.

Take the time we need to heal, to get some clarity, to get past the things that cause us to weep and then let dancing come again! Amen.
