Max Lucado Quote
Grief takes time. Give yourself some. Sages invest themselves in hurt and grieving (Eccles. 7:4 MSG ). Lament may be a foreign verb in our world but not in Scripture’s. Seventy percent of the psalms are poems of sorrow. Why, the Old Testament includes a book of lamentations. The son of David wrote, Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us (Eccles. 7:3 NLT ). We spelunk life’s deepest issues in the cave of sorrow. Why am I here? Where am I headed? We spelunk life’s deepest issues in the cave of sorrow. Why am I here? Where am I headed? Cemetery strolls stir hard yet vital questions. David indulged the full force of his remorse: I am worn out from sobbing. Every night tears drench my bed; my pillow is wet from weeping (Ps. 6:6 NLT ). And then later: I am dying from grief; my years are shortened by sadness. Misery has drained my strength; I am wasting away from within (Ps. 31:10 NLT ).
