In den letzten Tagen ist die Meldung vom tragischen Tod von Rick Warrens Sohn um die Welt gegangen. Viele haben darüber geschrieben. Hier sind einige profunde Aussagen des Trauernden (via Twitter):
- I don’t want to go back to how things were. I want to be a better man, more in-tune with Jesus, more compassionate of others.
- If you expect anyone to meet an emotional need only God can meet, you set them up for failure and yourself up for disappointment.
- „In our hearts we felt the sentence of death, but this happened so we might not rely on ourselves but on God.“ 2Cor 1:9
- „I want is know Christ, experience the power of his resurrection, share his sufferings and become like him in his death.“ Phil 3:10
- I only hire staff who’ve been hurt deeply. People who have never suffered tend to be shallow and smug about other’s pain.
- The more you trust God, the more you realize how trustworthy he is.
- The real problem with your problem is you don’t immediately ask God for wisdom and help. See James 1:2-8
- Every time my heart shatters I take the pieces to Jesus for repair.
- „I would have despired unless I had bevlievd that I’d see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.” Ps 27:13
- Grieving is hard. Grieving as public figures, harder. Grieving while haters celebrate your pain, hardest.
