Sadly, loss is a horrible, but inevitable part of life. Yes, there will be instances, occasions and reasons to be celebrated and remembered. Still, it’s impossible to go through life without feeling and knowing the immense pain, devastation and sorrow that so often accompany the loss of a loved one.
Many have likely already gone through the deep, dark valley that is the loss of a loved one. If not, it’s a painful, gut-wrenching experience that you’d not wish on your worst enemy, as everyone who has ever gone through such a situation knows.
In “Crying Out Loud,” Blessing sings about a time when he experienced great sorrow following the loss of someone close to him. It’s a beautifully written song that perfectly captures the devastation that comes with loss. He writes how he wishes he could have one more opportunity to say, “I love you,” and how the tears will not stop but instead, they fall like rain, streaming down his face.
“Wish that I could hit rewind
Say I love you one more time
Heartstrings only play sad songs
I sing, but it comes out wrong”
While hurt and loss in this life are unavoidable, He remains faithful, at work and in control, even in our pain and sorrow. He sees us in our time of need and does not abandon His children. God offers comfort and rest for those hurting and going through a deep, dark, painful valley.
Yes, there will be times when life hurts and stings, but God never fails and remains faithful.
Psalm 23:4 “Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”
