Discovering God's Grace Through Grief
"I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security" says the Lord. Jeremiah 33:6
Have you lost a job, a loved one or had to make a drastic change in your lifestyle? Grief is a powerful and complex experience
that happens to us when we have suffered a significant loss. Most people think of grief associated with the loss of a loved one. But it can involve any kind of loss. A level of grief can be experienced through job loss and transition. God's grace is with us in our grief, pushing and pulling us through, even though we may not feel it. Because of this grace; we have the strength to face life and the power to move on.
