While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss Bonus 69 | The Juxtaposition of Sorrow and Joy
Verses about joy abound in the Bible, and I'd like to share ten of my favorites with you in today's bonus episode. As you listen, I want to draw your attention to how many of these verses have the word "joy" juxtaposed with grief, tears, trials, and affliction. Maybe I've drawn to verses like these because of my own experience, and that's why these are my favorites. Or maybe it's because that's how God so often seems to work ... allowing us to experience heartbreaking sorrow, but always following it up with a restoration of joy.
Thank you for joining me for another bonus episode of the While We're Waiting podcast in this year-long series in which I share our family’s experiences as our teenage daughter Hannah battled glioblastoma brain cancer from February 2008 through February 2009. My desire is to process through the events of those twelve months with the perspective that 16 years has brought … and point people to hope in Jesus along the way.
