Hosea 2:14 “Therefore I am now going to allure her; I will lead her into the desert and speak tenderly to her.”
We each arrived at the conference on Friday night from different locations, not only where we live, but we also came from different places in our grief. We were searching for a place where we could leave life’s distractions at home and search for a place of hope. Many of us were searching for answers to our pain. The why’s, and the what now’s which have been awakened in our hearts and minds after the loss of our child. As we searched for answers throughout this conference, if we found out anything, we discovered the best answer of all. We have a God who loves us and He is faithful to show us His love when we are in the storms of our life. Throughout the weekend, as we slowed down and quieted our souls, we could hear God speaking. He spoke to us as we shared our stories one by one to hearts full of compassion and arms willing to hug the hurts. He spoke to us through the bracelets that were made with so much love bearing the name of a beloved child. Picture frames were created holding memories forever placed in our minds, all created by the loving touch of a mother. Lives changed, hearts touched by women understanding each other, in a place of devastation, but we heard a Savior speak tenderly to us and in that, we can find our hope.
Lord, we thank You for Your tender voice.
