The Power of Good Grief

If our work as Christians really is about living a life of repentance, then what is it that leads us to true Repentance? Good Grief

Queen Elizabeth once said, “Grief is the price we pay for love.” And that is true, in part, but not the whole picture.

I’m convinced that in our modern world of therapy and “positive thinking,” we run the risk of falling into the false notion that we should never “feel” bad or sad. That mistaken way of thinking always leads to disaster, as we never learn how to grieve well. We don’t avoid grief; that’s not possible. We just do it so badly that it harms us instead of leading us to joy, as good grief always does!
