Psalm 147:3 (NKJV) 3 He heals the brokenhearted And binds up their wounds.
As I was talking to a person the other day who had just lost someone dear to them, they said to me, “I don’t understand why I can’t cry".
They couldn’t cry over losing that person. It genuinely bothered then. They said, “I cry because I can’t cry for my loss.”
Our mind is a funny thing. It tries to figure everything out. It demands answers even when there may be no answer.
It's hard to have an answer for something that affects every one of us differently. And mourning is one of them.
A few years ago I lost two people within a period of just over a year. They were both very dear to me. They both had a special place in my heart.
I found myself crying more for one of them than I did the other.
Was that wrong?
Most people would say, “you must have loved or missed one of them more than the other”.
But that was not the case at all, and I never felt guilty due to not being able to cry equally for them.
I have never questioned this because I know that, whatever the reason is, I trust God and I’m comforted.
Let God do the work. He will comfort the brokenhearted in ways that we need it.
If we need to cry, cry. If we don’t, that's OK too. His comfort will guide us in our season of mourning.
Our minds may never know the answers to some things. We must accept that and carry on.
Mourning comes to us in different ways for each person we lose. It will not always be the same for every person. Trust in God even in the way we mourn for someone.
He heals the brokenhearted.
Amen.
