There are few things more ungodly than fake joy when you should be mourning.

Horizontal (human-centered) grief is much less concerned with being broken and more concerned with being busted.

We spend so much time trying to put send to death that we don't spend enough time striving to know God deeply, trying to gaze upon the wonder of Jesus Christ and have that transform our affections to the point where our love and hope are steadfastly on Christ.

Could it be that God is so intensely personal that He would burn down your world in hopes of building it back?
