Is There A Time Limit On Grieving?

A family member inbox me this picture

and it got me thinking. Is there a time limit on grief? I went back and forth in my mind, on if I was right, by telling people that GOD doesn’t want us in this place of grief for long. Which is kind of a time limit if you think about it as I did. I even asked my sister Janelle what her thoughts were. We talk for about 30 minutes on this topic. We both went back and forth on the stand point of a non believer and a believer. We discuss both sides of it. I definitely second guess myself on what the picture was saying. My goal is to never tell someone that you need to get over something. My goal is to tell what GOD did for me and what worked for me. I know I have an assignment to do. I feel like we all have one. I know for me I can’t afford to sit in a bad space. I have to push through and help others who are in the same place I was. I say all this in hopes that it’ll encourage the next to not copy me but seek the Lord and find their own way in this whole thing we call grief. It’s so hard to overcome any obstacle but with the help of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, nothing is impossible for him. For people who have been in such a horrible place for many years I would encourage you get a relationship with the lord. That goes for both sides. As a believer I was in such disbelief and my faith was tired to point that I had given up. But as I stated before and I’ll say it again(“Weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning”)psalms 30:5. Without GOD we allow ourselves to be tormented each and every day. It will keep us in a place for however long it can. I heard someone say the enemy doesn’t want us, he wants our purpose. If he can keep you blind for 10,20, or even 30 years, and keep you in this place of being mentally drained ,and mentally tormented, then guess what, he’s kept you from your purpose. From even what GOD had and has planed for you. People of GOD if you don’t do anything else in life please get a Relationship with the LORD. Start living again, get your freedom back. Hold your head up high and know this too shall pass. Take your time but not to much time.

Be Bless
