For all the twist and turns of grief, even though traumatic events can seem to shake the earth beneath your feet, the promise is clear. Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will not be shaken. Psalm 62:6 NIV Beautiful Scars The beautiful young woman lay unconscious in the hospital bed in the ICU. Her grief-stricken family stood around her as the doctors tried to revive her from the coma, induced by severe head trauma. Finally, the quiet conversation took the most feared turn; the girl would not awake. Their niece, sister, daughter, friend, once full of life... was gone. How do you handle something like that? How do you not simply lose your grip on reality? For all the twist and turns of grief, even though traumatic events can seem to shake the earth beneath your feet, the promise is clear. If we make God our rock and our defense, we will not be moved; we will not be torn from a foundation upon which the hope and power of Christ rest. The rains may fall and the winds may blow, eroding and shaping the landscape of your life, but nothing can dislodge your solid trust in the sacrifice of Jesus. Not even death.
