Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning - (Ps 30:5)
With God's help I rise above sorrow
With God's help I rise above sorrow
We all encounter sorrow at some time during our journey through life.
It may have been considered right at one time, when a dear one passed on to another plane of consciousness, to shut oneself away from the world and be overwhelmed with grief. But surely today we should know better than that? Life must go on, and the sooner we return to our work and our daily occupations the better. In this way we help God to help us. It does not do us any good to sit and brood on our loss - it but increases our misery.
Then let us return to normal living as soon as possible. We shall miss the physical presence of the one who has gone, but let us not look on what we call death as a closed door, but as an open gateway to a life of greater achievement. Let us think of the good of the dear one, not of ourselves.
