One of the hardest parts of grief is not only the pain you carry it is also the voices around you.Sometimes people mean well. Sometimes they do not. And in painful seasons, what people say can cut deeply. Questions like “Where was God?” or “Why didn’t He answer?” can leave you even more wounded when you are already trying to hold yourself together.In this episode, we look at John 11:36–37 and see that even at Lazarus’ tomb, while the family was grieving and Jesus was present, people still talked. Some recognized love. Others questioned God’s power.This message is for anyone who has ever had to grieve while also dealing with discouraging comments, doubt, or quiet gossip. It is a reminder that not every voice around your pain speaks truth.
