LAMENT
"We need the language of lament. We need permission to voice the broken hope within. We need to know lament is a song we are allowed to sing and that we are not alone in singing it . . . Yes, if human lament is a long and labored love-song, Jesus is singing there in the midst of it, perhaps at times using our own tears to call us closer to his own broken body on the cross and the promise in his scars. This song, too, shall one day be a lament no more." Jill Carattini, Slice of Infinity
GOD'S LOVE
"The greater our love, the greater our burden of care. But God is love, & God's love is strong. It carries the heaviest of burdens: our sins, our sorrows, & all our cries for help. God's love 'bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things' (1 Cor. 13:7)" Tony Nester, The Upper Room
