" Grieve & Live"

[18]  And on the seventh day the child died. David's servants feared to tell him that the child was dead, for they said, While the child was yet alive, we spoke to him and he would not listen to our voices; will he then harm himself if we tell him the child is dead?

[19]  But when David saw that his servants whispered, he perceived that the child was dead. So he said to them, Is the child dead? And they said, He is. [20]  Then David arose from the floor, washed, anointed himself, changed his apparel, and went into the house of the Lord and worshiped...

2 Samuel 12:18-20 AMPC

SOMEBODY: Hear Me!!

Your loved one would want you to live...

Being without them is hard, 

I get it.

But the fact that God has given you with a brand new day, a day you have never seen before, should be enough to motivate you to get up and keep going.

What looks like the end to you right now is really just the beginning. Life has more to offer you, but you will be in no position mentally to receive it, if you keep holding onto what you can't change or undo. 

David realized there was nothing more he could do for his son and so he got up. Despite those who were whispering around him, thinking that if he got "wind" of what they were talking about he might harm himself.

David got up. He was on the floor, but he got up.

That's a Word 4 SOMEBODY:

God has given you the strength to get yourself up. (Philip 4:13)...You don't have to stay down physically or mentally. 

You can grieve and live.

Honor that loved one's memory, but live your life.

Start by taking care of your personal hygiene and change your clothes. Look your best, even though you don't feel your best.

Let your appearance prophesy to those who were whispering about you....Let them see you are not down permanently.

Get up and go worship Jesus (your God, your Lord & Savior). This is (STILL) a day the Lord has made...

Psalms 118:24

So, Don't stay there grieving like you have no hope. There is hope.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Until Next Sunday. 

I'm praying for you.
