“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16

A friend recently lost a loved one, and I remember them saying that they were just not ready for the loss. Are we ever? Another friend endured a bitter divorce and they are finding it hard to trust. Still another is dealing with a strained relationship with a child and have a feeling of helplessness. Life can be a series of heartbreaks, broken promises and shattered dreams. That’s why when I’m feeling the strain of life I find myself putting on a beautiful song called “Unredeemed” by Selah. Just read a few of the lyrics and I’ll think you’ll get the point.

“Life breaks and falls apart. But we know these are places where grace is, soon to be so amazing. It may be unfulfilled, it may be unrestored, but when anything that’s shattered is laid before the Lord. Just watch and see. It will not be, unredeemed

When we approach Jesus, He has an amazing way of wrapping his arms around us. Hope in birthed in His embrace. Paul tells us in Hebrews that we can approach His throne with confidence that mercy and grace are there waiting for us in abundance. Find the courage today to live and to love again, safely resting in your Savior’s arms.
