Cuss words – the definition is to say words that aren’t polite because you’re angry. That’s the definition.
In grief, there are words we do not want to say or hear because when we do hear them, it creates all kinds of emotions – anger, offense and did I mention anger? On a good day in grief, the biggest of these cuss words can cause you to shut down. Well, that was my experience, but maybe it’s different for you.
Let’s see. When I tell you that at some point, you’re gonna have to accept what has happened, how does that hit your heart? My reaction was pure rebellion because in my mind, the word acceptance meant ‘agreeing with’ or ‘approving of’ and I had no intention of doing either of those things.
This is where I thought my faith was lacking – that if I had more faith (at that point, I felt I had none), so if I had any faith, then I could accept what God allowed. But coming to a place of acceptance is the crazy ride of grief. There’s so much rolled up in that word and that’s what I want to talk about today: What is included in ‘acceptance’ what, it really means, and 3 reasons grief cuss words such as acceptance will help you rebuild a life.
WORD of the Week Through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And weboast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but wealso glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. Romans 5:2-4
