Child loss take us to such a dark place that we can easily believe it’s impossible to ever have joy in our lives again. But if Christ is in us, so is joy, because that is one of the fruits of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Our lives will never be the same. We will never be the same, but He is always the same. God is right here with us, ready to wash over us with His love, to put the pieces of our shattered hearts back together and to help us fight our way out of the darkness of the enemy and back into His light.
In this episode I share a key that will move us in the direction of having joy back in our lives again. It might not look or feel the same, but it is real, and it is possible.
