Give Me Your Grief

Many of you have hearts heavy laden with grief. I recognize this.

Today, I ask you to put your hand into mine and trust me to lead you through this process.  Let me have every last bit of this pain that wrecks you.  You are not meant to walk through this process alone.  I am here, wanting to fill those voided spaces. It’s ok to grieve; it is a necessary process in life. It can not, however, become a place that you live in and never leave.  You were made for love and joy and that I can give back to you when you allow me into your most broken places, even where it feels impossible for you to feel joy.

Do you trust me?  

Will you give me all the broken and lost places of your heart?

Put your hand in mine and let me have every part of you, especially the painful ones, because I can take everything and turn it into something beautiful.   

Activation: Come into the presence of the Lord. Put on some worship music and begin to worship the Lord for His goodness.  Just find one thing to be grateful for and thank Him.  See yourself packing away into a box all the deep grief and suffering that you have been carrying. As you do so, see yourself releasing the pain. See it going into the box, close it and you give the box to Jesus.  Allow Him to take these things and replace them with joy, peace, and everlasting love.  See yourself receiving these beautiful gifts in exchange. 

Matthew 11:28-30 AMP

Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest (renewal, blessed quiet) for your souls. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light.

‭‭ Isaiah 61:3 (NLT)

To all who mourn in Israel, he will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning, festive praise instead of despair. In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
