Broken and the Blessed Week 2, Day 2

DAY 9
Our capacity to experience sorrow is thus a measure of our capacity to love deeply and engage meaningfully with others and with our broken world. If we achieve real connection and intimacy we will feel genuine loss. In a world of accidents, illness, conflict, death and disappointment, where losses are real and inevitable, mourning is a mark of spiritual maturity. In today’s scripture David mourns the loss of his dear friend, Jonathan, someone who had been loving and loyal. David is a King and a warrior who is not afraid to grieve.
Who do you remember with tears and thankfulness?
Spend some time remembering a friend or relative whom you’ve lost and committed into God’s hands.
Pray for someone you know who has suffered a loss.
FAMILY TIME—
