How Jesus Answers Our Heartache with Himself

“Grief is a funny thing. It does what it pleases for as long as it pleases, and it consumes our thoughts and emotions.” Many years before The Daily Grace Co. became a leading Christian publishing company, Kristin Schmucker held her stillborn daughter Sophia in her arms and wept. Grief crashed in, wave after wave, relentlessly. And it felt as though it would never end. So she began to pour out her heart to Jesus, getting lost in Scripture and writing out her thoughts, prayers, and the revelation of God’s goodness through constant tears. What happened in the moments, days, weeks, months, and years that followed can only be described as grace. Daily grace. After selling millions of Bible studies, the story of The Daily Grace Co. continues to unfold. The pain of this life can leave you feeling alone. For Kristin, it was losing a child that brought out a feeling of loneliness. And that loneliness, amplified by pain and brokenness, tries to tell you that God is distant. But the reality is that He is closer than you think.
