Today, I am experiencing a new kind of grief. A grief that I have not felt up to this point in my life. A grief that comes from knowing that someone that is a part of your life waited too long. Did not accept. Did not know my Savior.
It's too late. It's too late to get it right. To accept the truth. To change the heart.
Indeed... this grief is different. No one should ever be separated from the Lord for eternity.
Today I am grieving for a life that was lost. A true death. A time when resting in peace, being in a better place and when no longer being in pain... do not apply.
Oh Lord please let no other people that I love wait too long to come to know you or return to you. Please let no more of my close friends and family live a life apart from you in the present and be separated from you for eternity.
There is a difference. There is a difference between burying a Mom that you know you will see again and saying goodbye to a family member that you know you will not see again.
I am so sorry Lia. Renewed my commitment to pray for and witness to those who are lost in my family/friends circle.
