“God is a God who…” We could follow this phrase with many aspects of God’s Character. But in times of loss and grieving, how do you lead your girl back to the true nature of God? One way to lead well through grief is in empathy. 

Romans 12:15 tells us to “weep with those who weep.” In the Kingdom of God, it’s good to cry! God meets us where we are in our grieving. He doesn’t give us a disconnected pat on the shoulder until we pull ourselves together. God the Father acknowledges loss and comforts the soul.  

If your girl is in a time of grieving, share the hope and trust that her Creator sees her right where she is and will bridge the gap to peace in the aching.
