Grief has a way of stopping time. The world keeps moving, but for the one who is grieving, everything slows to the weight of a single absence.
And yet, throughout Scripture, we see that God does not waste our sorrow. The same valley that feels like an ending is often the beginning of growth we could not have imagined.
The God Who Meets Us in the Valley
From Naomi to David to the disciples after the cross, the Bible is full of people who walked through grief and came out changed — not unscarred, but restored.
If you are in a season of loss today, know this: you are not alone, and your grief is not the end of your story.
