Higher and Grander

I am sure that many of us has experienced losses in our lives. Some of us said goodbye not long ago to our elderly relatives, our grandparents, maybe even our parents. Some of us experienced unexpected losses. Losing someone dearly dearly loved. A most painful experience, agonizing, heart-wrenching.

What are we to say and believe in such an event? No intellectual thinking. No rational thinking. What are we to say in all that pain, grief and sorrow?

Sometimes we never realize how real God is in our lives. We hold onto all His promises, our hope is Him alone, but when the trials come, when the pain comes, when things happen in our lives that just spell out turmoil and heart-wrenching losses, we cannot seem to see nor understand our God anymore. I'd like to thank Philip for putting together this video for all of us to see and enjoy, that we may realize that God is Sovereign, and that He has Higher and Grander purposes.
