Her eyes met mine and I read her deep pain
and loss
and confusion.
So what do you do when suddenly your mate of many years
dies
leaving you all alone?
How do you begin again? she wondered.
How do you fill the empty moments..
those stretches of time when you used to always hear his voice
or get a text?
How do you go on?
Her heart touched mine and our tears mingled freely.
Life can be so unexpected.
Life can be so hard.
Life can leave you breathless and gasping for air at times.
While the rest of the world seems to go on
suddenly you are left
with a million questions and a heart filled with pain.
Some answers are common.
Take one day at a time.
It will get better.
Be grateful for what you had.
All true but sounding so small compared to the greatness of the loss and pain.
I’ll never forget the words a dear friend shared years ago.
Whisper His Name.
Jesus.
Just whisper His Name and you will sense His very closeness.
I’ve done that
Yes I encourage you to do that.
No matter where you are
No matter what your need…
Whisper His Name.
Jesus.
Jesus.
The One Who knows all about your sorrow.
The One Who knows your heartbreak.
The One Who loves you more deeply than anyone.
Whisper His Name in your sadness
and listen.
No one cares like Jesus.
He draws close in your pain and loss and wraps His loving arms around you.
He holds you tenderly wiping away your tears
and gently rocks you through the long difficult daytime hours
and throughout the darkest nights.
Like a mother caring for her baby
Jesus softly holds you within His embrace and cares.
Do you know someone who is lonely today?
Someone whose world has shattered and doesn’t know where to turn?
Whisper His Name.
Jesus.
Are you struggling with pain and fears for tomorrow?
Whisper the precious Name of Jesus.
His Love will soothe all your fears and comfort you.
Jesus.
The Name above all Names.
Whisper His Name.
Today.
Thank you, Jesus.
