Finally…

The world has given us many ways to kill our pain for just a moment or maybe let’s call it, a temporary coping strategy. You sit in-front of the tv laugh for a few mins, the next minute you’re back in grief. You take some sleeping medicine to avoid the pain but you’ll still wake up and the pain is still there. You can even do food therapy, eat all you want, ice-cream , donuts for comfort but you’ll soon be full and that sting comes back. Our desire to be free from pain was put by God Himself . When Jesus was about to die He handed over His favourite disciple to His mom and vice versa why? Because He knew that kind of pain does not go unless there is a comforter to stand the gap.

I recently lost two friends about two weeks apart. I was at a conference in church, had just gotten off the stage when I got the news. I sat there trying to listen to the word and shut down all the pain because I couldn’t just break down. I was so heart broken. Then again, I lost another friend in the most brutal way , see, the pain of losing people is unbearable. Who helped me go through all that? The Holy Spirit. Who is He?

”But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.“
‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭26‬ ‭KJV‬‬

The Holy Bible

There must be someone to stand in the gap to comfort you. There is none better than the Holy Spirit. He is called the Comforter sent to help us with all our burdens. There are people who think they’ll never heal from losing someone, it is not true. The Holy Spirit does not comfort like ice-cream or donuts, no. He brings total and complete healing , something the world desperately needs but can’t get because it rejects Him. Holy Spirit has a way of wiping tears that when people see you they don’t believe you ever cried. No trace of grief.

As we conclude on this topic today, I want to say to you, there is a balm in Gilead who stitches the hearts of men. He will do the same for you if you desire it. Yes, it is painful , it still keeps you awake at night, it takes away your appetite but it has an expiration date! I pray that by this time next month you have a testimony of overcoming the depression that comes from grief. I do hope all l shared with you helped in one way or another. If not, please do see a Christian counsellor and get more help . Your joy is coming back in the healing and restoring Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. You are loved!

”Say to the righteous that it shall be well with them.“
