Click Here God Relates to Your Loss Day 167 God's Son died; He was buried; and on the third day He rose again. There is hope because of Jesus. According to Dr. Bill Bright: "God has demonstrated His love for you by personally visiting this planet earth. He left His place of glory, came as a man (the God/man), died on the cross for your sins, and was raised from the dead as a demonstration of His love. "A woman said, 'Where was God when my son was killed during the war?' And a wise, spiritually mature friend said, 'He was where he was when His own Son died on the cross for our sins.' God knows all about your problems. He wants to help you, but in your anger and resentment, and oftentimes hatred, He cannot help you. It is only when you say, 'Oh God, help me,' in a spirit of humility, that He envelops you with His love, forgiveness, and grace." God knows your deepest fears, hurts, and needs. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16). Oh God, help me. Amen.
