Have you ever fallen as a child and scuffed your knee or elbow and someone has said to you, “oh that is just a strawberry.”   What they are saying is just get back up, brush yourself off and forget the pain.

Losing someone may look like a scuff or strawberry to people that have never gone through what you are experiencing now.

Well as we all know, a scuff takes the skin off, the first layer and it hurts.

God does want us to get back up.  However, he wants to direct our steps, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Mathew 6:33

Don’t just put a band-aid on your wound without God applying His healing ointment.
