From: Roman Sheremeta — It’s easy to feel overwhelmed by darkness when war rages and loss touches so many families. As a Ukrainian, I carry that weight daily. But as a Christian, I am reminded that even in the valley of the shadow of death, God is with us (Psalm 23:4).
The world may shake. Hearts may break. But “the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it” (John 1:5).
We are not abandoned. Our pain is not ignored. “The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit” (Psalm 34:18).
And we know that even this — even war, even loss — will not have the final word. Because Christ already spoke it from the cross: “It is finished.”
We live with a promise — that one day, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain” (Revelation 21:4). Until that day, we hold each other close. We speak truth. And we live with hope.
Let’s not give up. Not on each other. Not on our future. Not on God.
