I had
another post to share with you this morning but I decided to put that on the
back burner and instead introduce a series of posts that I hope you will find
helpful.
Here at
David’s Hope we believe that the greatest comfort in tragedy is knowing and understanding who God is and his purposes. I do not want to placate
you in the hardest time of your life with silly Christian clichés that provide
no real lasting comfort for you and may just leave you with more questions. The
truth is the bible is more than sufficient to communicate God’s desires for us
amidst tragedy. I am well aware that it is not hard to find a sad story online
about how someone overcame their miscarriage and were stronger in the end. That
may be true and those stories have their place, but here – I don’t want you to
pull yourself up by your bootstraps, fight through it, and get over it. I want
you to have your hope firmly planted in Christ, the author and finisher of our
faith. You have not sinned your way into
this situation, you are not being punished, and God is not looking the other
way. I hope that you will check back next week as we begin to unpack some of
the harder questions we might have when dealing with miscarriage and infant
loss.
