Suffering

One way to view life’s most painful journeys is through the prism of grieve, breathe, receive (GBR). When Friday’s sudden darkness (grief) leads to Saturday’s confusion and questions (breathe), we eagerly await Sunday’s resurrected peace and possibility (receive). Along the way, we can embrace the process or resist it. I pray that in these devotionals, you will glimpse the power of grace, mercy, love, and hope for your own journey.
