Comfort On Every Side

"Also Your righteousness, O God, is very high,

You who have done great things;

O God, who is like You?
You, who have shown me great and severe troubles,

Shall revive me again,

And bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
You shall increase my greatness,

And comfort me on every side."

~Psalm 71:19-21 (NKJV)

In the midst of the greatest trial I have had to endure, I want to just scream at God and ask why He allowed it. Why did He let this pain creep into my life? He is powerful. He has done great things. He could have stopped it. 

Yet, He did not. He did not heal my child.

He has shown me a severe trouble.

My heart aches. My pain is deep. I cry. My arms ache to hold the baby that is gone forever from me.

But, He shall revive me again. He shall bring me up. He shall comfort me on every side.

He is doing this. I have to trust this is true.

Even in the pain, I can see His hand working. His body is moving, as believers surround us, love us, and weep with us.

It hurts, but there is comfort. Even in the tears. He will bring me up again from the depths of the earth.
