When the Loss Is Too Great

The book of Lamentations was written in the middle of a national tragedy. Everything had been destroyed — the city, the temple, the dreams of an entire people. And yet, within this book of grief, this verse appears.

"The Lord is my portion." When everything I had was taken away, God still remains. And He is enough to be the portion of a soul that has lost everything else.

Maybe you're in a season of great loss. Loss of health, of a relationship, of a job, of someone you loved. And the question that lingers is: what's left for me now?

God is left. And He is not the consolation prize — He is the greatest wealth that exists. When you have Him, you have the source of everything. Not easy to feel in the middle of pain, but true all the same.
