Christians are not protected from grief or pain. It is ok to feel broken. Remember, calling ourselves “Christian” is not a category but a lifestyle and a worldview that embraces the truth of what it meant that “unto us a son was given” who came to be our “Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace” and that only in repentance and submission to Him will we ever find true hope and peace.
