When life gets hard, God brings new possibilities. When we experience loss, we grieve for what we had hoped would have been our future (Option A). At the same time, God helps us to see new possibilities that may not have happened without the loss (Option B). In an amazing juxta-position that only God can create, God helps us to see, enjoy, and fully live these new possibilities while at the same time helping us to grieve what was lost.

 

Next Step: Identify a new possibility that grew out of a loss you experienced. Thank God for that new possibility even as you grieve what was lost. Ask God to use this experience to build greater resiliency and joy in you.

 

Lessons: Isaiah 6:8-13, Philippians 4:10-13, Mark 9:14-29
