The news cuts somewhere deep within us … for we were not created to die. The truth of God’s intent for us never included mental illness, depression, death.
Yet …
haven’t we all cried, sorrowed, grieved when we hear of the end of life of another?
Death entered our world when Satan told a lie in the garden, to the original souls of humanity.
And he still tells lies.
This past week we heard of the death of beautiful soul. One tortured by that which was never intended … despair, despondency, depression.
A young woman who God knit together in her mother’s womb … oh that mum, that dad … God hear our prayers for them!
A young woman with siblings, relatives, friends.
And they all cry, sorrow and grieve.
And we ache, deep in our souls … because this is not the way it is supposed to be.
And this deep ache …
it is proof that it’s a lie.
IT’S A LIE!
WHEN SATAN TELLS YOU
NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOU
NO ONE LOVES YOU
NO ONE THINKS OF YOU …
OUR GRIEF IS PROOF
IT’S A LIE.
If you are ever so low you despair even of life. If you hear whispers that no one cares about you, no one loves you, no one thinks of you … I want you to know those whispers are from Satan himself. And, I want you to remember what grief feels like … because the sorrow of grief is proof that Satan lies. He has lied since the beginning of time.
Our grief is proof, that Satan lies … for our grief comes from caring, loving and thinking of the one who is gone from us.
Satan … “was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” John 8:44.
