{ "item_title" : "Devotions For Loss of Loved Ones", "item_author" : [" Susan J. Perry "], "item_description" : "Proverbs 17:22A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.God is so good to give us the opportunity to shine before men. We shall rejoice and again I say rejoice. (Philippians 4:4) A good medicine for you and me is that of a merry heart: laughter and joy is a good portion of it. We've gotta get up out of that place of mourning for that loss of the loved one that was so dear and near to us and see the light of day again. It is so hard to do so but the LORD gives us grace and we are steadied in His power to overcome all things.Widows, widowers, friends and family need a word of encouragement today to get up and out of their grave clothes because if not we stay in darkness and heaviness as our sorrow overcomes us. It's hard to live life.We all go through losses which are life changing in all the years we stay upon the earth; some bad and some very bad or heartbreaking as the love of our life dies or the young child of our marriage or our mothers and fathers; they all leave a hole where they used to be with us. It is the job of Jesus to heal and sew that hole up with a Holy Spirit needle and thread until the wound is closed with divine health. It is not good for one's soul to mourn too long although it is possible to live there. I have seen many do this but it is not healthy. It is not possible to live well thru another person's life and prosper. We want to prosper, don't we? What does the Bible say?3 John 1:2Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.Let us come out of the grave of mourning today and lift up our eyes to the hills where our help comes from, it comes from the LORD!(Psalm 121:1)We are going to declare the truth wherever Jesus leads us to get beyond our troubles and get back into our daily lives restored fully to overflowing again. So we can get out into society again and function as Jesus created us to in the first place. It may be hard taking those first steps, make them small in the beginning and try to get on with your life. There are still others you need to touch and inspire. Now smile again we still have a Savior! Praise God for the uplifting of our cares to be cast unto Him that cares for us. (1 Peter 5:7)Amen.", "item_img_path" : "https://covers3.booksamillion.com/covers/bam/9/79/818/294/9798182942706_b.jpg", "price_data" : { "retail_price" : "14.95", "online_price" : "14.95", "our_price" : "14.95", "club_price" : "14.95", "savings_pct" : "0", "savings_amt" : "0.00", "club_savings_pct" : "0", "club_savings_amt" : "0.00", "discount_pct" : "10", "store_price" : "" } }
