Inexpressible

The word of the day... inexpressible.  Some days are full of inexpressible joy and others.... inexpressible pain, sorrow and grief.  Last night, a dear one in our fellowship of believers entered the presence of Jesus. We mourn the loss of her presence on this earth and the grief is inexpressible.  This morning a friend sent me a text with this verse...

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. 
 For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, 
but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.
Romans 8:26

I am comforted, I may not know what to pray or how to express, but the Spirit is expressing it beautifully to the Father.  The Spirit knows what to pray, knows how to comfort, knows how to enter into our grief.   The tears will not end soon, and this moment will always be inexpressible but we have an advocate that will continue to express and pray on our behalf through the inexpressible.

Please remember this family in prayer, this husband, these precious three children.  Please remember this body of believers and this community.  Let the Spirit of God inside of you intercede on their behalf.  He will be the comforter.
