Turning Grief to Meaningfulness

Grief, defined as the pain of mind produced by loss, misfortune, injury or evils of any kind; sorrow; regret, comes almost involuntarily -- but we do not need to be burdened and held down by it forever.  Grief paralyzes and time goes by. The question is, what do you want to do with the time that is going by? What could you do with a right focus and energy? 

When we suffer loss, we naturally grieve, but there is a day that we need to redirect -- use the force of the grief in a turn toward forward moving accomplishment. This direction comes from unselfish motives. Thinking about helping others brings high energy -- enough to succeed. There is an incredible power that Spirit imparts when our heart is set on helping others in some way. 

This may be the day when you think on how to best use your time, and how to use it to help others. Being ready to move on does not mean you are completely over some tragic event, but it does indicate that good is actively supreme and asserting itself. Jumping over the hurdle of paralyzing grief into active good to help others will bless many. Not doing this will deprive them. 

Think about giving your consent to make this change. Think of what you could do to help others and take an action step in that direction. You will feel a peace coming to you even as you think about this.  

Ps. 107:13. "Then they cried unto the Lord in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses."
