This Grief Share devotion titled, Sudden and Unpredictable describes me lately. Please be patient with me if I seem all over the map these days. Luckily the people in my daily life seem to be understanding, thank the Lord. Ive been pretty happy, but lately emotions have surfaced suddenly and sometimes it has baffled me. But Im figuring things out as I go. Maybe this can help some of my grieving friends out there. Heres the devotional: Emotions during grief do not occur in an orderly fashion. You cannot follow a checklist and mark off the emotions you are finished with and then move on to the next. They come suddenly and unpredictably. “People ask me, ‘How are you doing?’ And I say, ‘Wonderful.’ One moment I’m sobbing uncontrollably—I carry Kleenex around in my pocket—and the next moment I’m so exhilarated with joy with all that God is doing in my life,” says Dr. Jim Conway. Circumstances will change. People will change. Surroundings will change. But the Bible leads you to the one sure thing: “I the LORD do not change” (Malachi 3:6). Almighty, unchanging God, I grasp on to Your hand as my emotions confuse and overwhelm me. You alone cannot be moved, and I am confident that as long as I remain in You, I, too, will not be moved. Amen. #GriefShare #Godisgoodallthetime Thank you Lord for never changing, and being the rock that I can cling to in the midst of the storm.
