Finding Yourself Through Loss

I've come to understand that loss while taking much can also give. It can offer hope strength and most importantly love. Such is the boundless love of God who loved us so deeply that He gave His one and only Son to die for all of us-yes all of us including you-no matter what you have done (John 3:16). Sometimes His love arrives shrouded in the darkness of loss but even then His promise remains unchanged: He came so that you and I may have life and have it in abundance (John 10:10). So beloved as loss has taken from you I ask: what has it given in return? Remember perception is everything.
