For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
2 Corinthians 4:17

Feed Your Soul: The Glory to Come, Part I {Grief & Hope}
For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
2 Corinthians 4:17
There is something that far outweighs baby loss. This statement is tremendously difficult to believe because this experience is weighty.
If you are like me, this is how you feel:
This is the weightiest experience of your life. You were not prepared in advance for the loss of your child. This child was within you; his or her body could grow because yours sustained him or her. And so, when your child ceased to grow or your child’s heart ceased to beat, in a sense, you ...

Feed Your Soul: Not Angels, Children of God {Angels}
One of the first sentences out of our doctor's mouth when coming back into the hospital room to consult with us after we learned that our daughter no longer had a heartbeat was that we now had our own “angel” looking over us. We knew his comment was intended to give a measure of comfort, yet, we also knew it was not literally true.
We found solid comfort in the truths of Scripture about our hope of our daughter's present reality. These were truths we re-visited again and again in grief to resonate with our daughter's joy. That is why I want to share with you today six reasons we can rejoice that our sons and daughters ...

Feed Your Soul: Hallowed Days {Future Events, Afterlife}
“But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father…Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him,” (Matthew 24:36, 42-44).

He will make known His glory to the whole world.
He will forever eradicate evil and death from ...
