Psalms 30:5 – For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Psalms-30-5/
You need not fear the darkness if you are walking with the Light of the World.
Death is hard for anybody. No matter how prepared we may be for the passing of a love one, it does not soften blow when God comes down and gets them. People have different ways of mourning; some choose to work through the hurt to keep their minds occupied, others shut down for a while to get a grip on actually losing their love one and still there are others who go into a deep depression that sometimes keeps them in darkness longer than necessary. July 19, 2021 will make 8 years since my daddy got his mansion in glory.
Yes, the signs were there that God was on His way, but it did nothing when I got the call that he was gone. It still hurts just as bad today as it did when he left. My weeping has endured for 8 years now and I’m still waiting on my joy to come in the morning. I am a little better, still have some sleepless night (not so much everyday now) but I still have flashes, memories, or something that will happen on tv or a movie that reminds me of daddy and I’m bawling like he just passed. I know I will be okay because I have 20+ babies that depend on me to keep it together and leading them in the ways of God. They have been my therapy all these years.
They are the reason when darkness closes in, it couldn’t keep its hold on me. I have a job to do, God called me to fulfill a purpose and depression has no place to stay, for long, for I will continue to do God’s work. I am depressed most of the time, but I will not show it. Just like I can tell when something is wrong with them, they can tell when something is wrong with me and I will not have them worrying about me.
Today find your joy. People always say “God Is” we know He is, but sometimes that is just not enough. Just knowing “God Is” does not automatically stop the sadness, the anger, the hurt, the betrayal. We do know God is still working through us and with us, and in time, He will heal our hearts and takeaway our sorrows. He will take away our pain, our fear, our depression and our will to go on without them. God is my all and all. Just keep on keeping on!!!!!
