What does grief look like to you? Have you visualized a face behind your emotion? Maybe the face reflects anger, remorse, peace, unbelief, thankfulness, hopelessness, agony, fear, hope, shock, loneliness, bitterness, or joy?

These are emotions that could weigh you down or lift you up. It all depends on the direction your mind goes. There is a face that is not reflected here. It is the face with a mask over it, the face that is denying the truth. God wants us to face the truth no matter how much it hurts.

Psalm 25:5 says, “Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long.”
