Some of us are walking through valleys where it seems that death is at our door - and at the doors of those we love - for a long while. How often, in the darkness of this world, does it feel that death has won and that God's plans are defeated? But Mark 15:41 says this is not the end of the story.
For the morning light to shine, there must first be a night that falls. Before the dancing, there must first be mourning. So don't stop hoping. Don't stop wrestling with the hard questions and don't stop seeking the light in the darkness.
