‘He comes to you and me in our sorrow. And He says, ‘Trust Me.’ ‘Walk with Me.’ – Elisabeth Elliot
God comes to us in our sorrow. He is not absent, but inviting. Whether our sorrow is a result of our own sin, sin against us, or the reality of living in a broken world - sorrow is an invitation deeper into His heart. A heart that says, ‘For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, ‘Fear not, I am the One who helps you (Is 41:13).’
Because we are met in our sorrow, we can cling to the One who holds us up.
‘My soul clings to You, Your right hand upholds me (Ps 63:8).’ Lord, You are worthy of my trust, my soul cling to You alone. Amen.
Upheld,
