As we are going through these death experiences, we can easily find ourselves reaching out to God to make it better and fix it! We think that the proper In a bad place? order of life is to maintain the things of this world, especially those things that A Stephen Minister are essential to our sense of well-being and security. We do not like change. The wants to walk with you to listen in grieving that comes from our death experiences can keep us stuck and in despair. If confidence, and join you in prayer. we have lost something or someone of great value, the very meaning and essence of life is lost with them. We need gentle companions to lift us from despair and www.holyfamilyjasper.com/ that is precisely who God desires to be in our life as well. Stephen-Ministry God calls us out of our tombs, where we have been closed up in fear and despair, and shouts, “Come out!” He desperately wants to show us the path to hope and the new life that is possible after loss and death. But our faith can be weak, and we still prefer to cling to the memory of what we had rather than the joyful possibilities of tomorrow. We sometimes live as if God is not real and that the transformative power of His resurrected presence is a story found in the Bible, rather than a narrative unfolding in our lives. God is the God of surprises, not our demise. God opens new possibilities, begins new chapters, creates new verses, and brings us to new heights! We spend so much time and energy ruminating over what we left behind yesterday that we are far too tired to see what can unfold tomorrow. Loving someone new doesn’t WEEKLY READINGS negate our past loves. Embracing the love of a person, God, or life itself tomorrow doesn’t diminish the love of yesterday. Each of our loves is different, and one Sunday: Jer 31:31-34/Ps 51:3-4, 12 cannot be replaced by another. They don’t cancel each other out.
