Grief that makes you feel negative human guilt is
not of God. Negative guilt wants punishment. It wants you to pay. So you pay
the wrong way through feeling worthless. Any kind of worldly grief or guilt
produces a path to death, your enemy. You can grieve the passing of a loved one
or for any other unjust issue in the world but let your hurt remain in faith to
Christ who has the final power over pain and death. If you grieve as Holy
Father wills it, like mourning for another’s hurt along with your hurt, then it
is all right because that grief can lead to the kind of spiritual strength that
helps any physical healing process.
Prayer: Lord, thank you that you remain the major
Comforter for any heartache, anytime we pay attention to your forgiveness and
Grace.
