1) MY shepherd
2) He RESTORES my soul---From a state of emptiness to a state of fullness.

I don’t give these scriptures today as a bandaid to your pain. I simply want to express to you the reality of what a relationship with God will offer you.

This world is not all there is. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. Revelation 21:4
In this painful time, we can find solace in the presence of God. We are reminded that we are not alone in our grief, and that our Shepherd is always there to guide us through the darkest valleys.
