I completely agree with you. I know what its like to hurt and I also know that at that time, I usually don't want to hear a lot of things the churchy people will want to tell me.

Psalm 142:2 Charles Spurgeon says " we do not show our trouble before the Lord that 'he' may see 'it', but that 'we' may see 'him'. This truth I believe is at the heart of grief and grieving, that we may have relief from the Lord. We should grieve with others.....and....I love visiting blogs and do enjoy yours, hope you will come visit me again, thanks for leaving a comment :-)Maggie Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04991999931680942893noreply@blogger.com
