Grief is a circle.
Inside the rounded edges is where we go to work on accepting what will never be.
Outside the edges is where a life still full of possibility exists.
New joy is found when the circle is incorporated as a part of our landscape.

But when we let God help us trade anger for kindness, resentment for compassion and bitterness for gentleness... it splits this cold world wide open with the warmth of Jesus.
In eternity, perfection will greet us like a long-lost friend. We won’t be hurt. We won’t live hurt. We won’t be disappointed & we won’t live disappointed. Not in people, ourselves or God.

Even when you're spiraling and feel powerless to control it all, you still have choices you can make to find your way forward.
You can go to God and ask Him to take your thoughts captive and shift them back to Him. And going to God is always the best option.

Unrealistic expectations often lead to our greatest frustrations.
That's why the best place for us to look is always Jesus. He is the answer to our every need. He is our one true source of satisfaction.
