INTERRUPTIONS #3
Wait in the Confusing In-Between
WVFC October 24, 2021 #2021-043
Scripture: John 16:33, 2 Corinthians 12:9, Luke 22
Losses that are not grieved accumulate in our soul like heavy stones that weigh us down.
A refusal to embrace our sorrows and to grieve them fully, condemns us to a shallow spirituality that blocks the work of the
Holy Spirit in us.
To ignore these losses/interruptions is to live only half of life and to live a spirituality which is marked by unreality.
There is a profound depth, a profound spiritual and emotional growth which only happen in experiencing losses.
God’s 3 Phases for Processing Grief & Loss
Pay attention to pain.
Wait in the confusion in-between.
Allow the old to birth the new.
In these confusing in-between times, God:
Uproots our self-will.
Strips us of layers of our false self.
Frees us from unhealthy attachments.
