Without pain there can be no joy. Without love there can be no loss. As Alfred Tennyson said "'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

But through Christ we can find exquisite joy amidst our bitter pains.
It takes work though, we can't just sit back and expect to feel peace and comfort. We must be actively striving to know Him and become better disciples.
Some things I strive to do daily... and notice a HUGE difference in my life when I do include:
Physically getting on my knees and opening my heart in sincere prayer
Searching the scriptures for answers, not just reading a quick chapter to check it off my list for the day
Looking outward at others and going out of my way to do kind things

There are so many other things I know I should do but these three are my current focus. Doing them daily has helped me cope with a piece of my heart residing in Heaven
