Your past doesn't have to define your future. The voices inside of us that remind us of where we've been are committed to our future being bound up in the same patterns. But God has offered a new hope and identity through His Son Jesus and we can live to listen to a whole new reality and future.
Don't confuse your tragedy with your trajectory. Sometimes the turmoil and pain we're in the middle of seem so overwhelming we can't possibly imagine there is purpose and hope. What if God is allowing it as a part of His patience for all of us to learn how to better trust and lean on Him?
We all have things that weigh us down and loss is often the heaviest of those. What is the counter weight to the pain of loss in your life. Heavy loss requires heavier hope.

Even when our greatest accomplishments are achieved we sell ourselves short when we allow that to define us. God's path with us and plan for us is rooted in who we are as his children and these stories will echo that reality.
Our lives move in the direction of our worship. We are all built to be worshippers and without realizing it we can compromise the direction of that worship and in turn, our lives.
We are in a world that is driven by fear. Fear tells you a lie that you are in control. But the faith we are built for calls us to believe and know that God is in control.
