Grief is burden we share

Friday, May 26, 2023

Grief is said to be when something in life has shifted and now grief is "the pain one feels when that Love has no place to go".

As I grieve the (temporary) loss of my Beloved Toby, my only hope is Jesus has a horse in Heaven, surely he will let humans have their Beloved Animals, too.

Grief is a terrible thing, emotionally and physically, the pain is real... when the love was real.

We even grieve deeply when someone dies who never loved us, or stopped loving us although they are still alive, but elsewhere on earth with others; if our Love for them was real. We grieve the loss of anything or anyone we loved, i.e. a business we created, a career we built, the loss of our home by flood or fire, our family, marriage, relationships and friendships; anything we created.

Real Love never dies for it is Agape, God's Love. God is Love and God will never die. Real Love never dies, never stops, you can not extinguish it or put it out. When He gives you the gift of His Agape Love to shower upon another, you will love them forever no matter what, just like He does. He loves his creations, the skies, the universe, the earth, the mountains, the animals, birds, fish and humans. It gave him so much pleasure to create these things that he gifted mankind with the same passion for their own creations.

The Greatest Grief ever known will be Judgement Day and the Lake of Fire. God Loves them all, but he will have to judge them, sentence them and watch and hear their cries, pleas and hateful accusations against him and insults as some are thrown into the Lake of Fire and perish forever. The Grief and Pain He will endure watching His once Beautiful Creation, whom He Loves as much as He Loves You, go up in flames by His Hand... is a dread He will put off as long as possible. It was 4000 yrs from the Garden to the Cross. it has been 2000+ years from the Cross to today and waiting... for Judgement Day Grief. Even this earth as we know it with its beautifully created mountains and oceans will be destroyed (and replaced with a new world he will create).

God will be thankful for those who Love Him and are still with Him after Judgment, our presence and Love will help soothe His Grief, much like our loved ones around us when we grieve a loss (temporary) or permanent now. Grief is painful and only mutual Love from others can heal a wounded soul...even for God. And then life goes on with new creative ideas.

We all want the end of this evil wicked world to come quickly, the wounds from our enemies to be vindicated, and the hate and evil to be no more... God does, too; but He is dreading the grief to come for himself when he does that... much like his suffering on the cross. Dreadful grief... but necessary.

God knows all about your grief and how to heal your sorrow... because of His own.

Life is like a Labyrinth, there is only 1 way in and 1 day out, with a lot of twists and turns in between. Your Life, unlike a Labyrinth, you cannot rush it or slow it down by standing still.. all you can do is keep moving forward and pace yourself.

Every Life is born to die. We are all here to learn how to give and receive love. By becoming love, as he is love, we become like him and know him as he is. God is Love.

Grief is a burden we share.
