These are posts about the continuing experience outside the Essays. As the journey has progressed - so has the atmosphere. These writing continue the journey as the essays were completed as of July 20, 2020. Read of that moment as the essays came to a conclusion here - "Lessons from the Essays" or hear the narration of that post - "Lessons of the Essays - Narrated".
The paradox of explaining the state of grief has been a constant. The suffering is real but bringing anyone into that suffering quite distasteful.
Yet within that awful place the constant need for comfort. Having had the relationship of a lifetime broken by death - the emptiness and continual aching for relief is tiring and exhausting.
I have experienced in a sense - a reflection of the salvation that Jesus has brought to all who will accept Him. The freedom from the death sentence that awaits all humans. The assurance that His victory is our victory.
Volume 7 is the story of my salvation from the state of grief. From the disarming of the forces of darkness that had been my life all of these past months.
As I close this volume, the words of Paul to the Colossians state this wondrous time perfectly:
11 May you be strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for all endurance and patience, with joy 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has enabled you to share in the saints’ inheritance in the light.13 He has rescued us from the domain of darkness and transferred us into the kingdom of the Son He loves. 14 We have redemption, the forgiveness of sins, in Him.
