After Julie Grant’s husband, John, died abruptly, she found herself in that allegorical valley and discovered her faith was the only source of light that could pierce the darkness. In Streams of Light from a Heart Broken, she narrates the story of her journey.
Throughout this devotional, Grant acknowledges that grief is hard. There is absolutely no part of grieving that is remotely pleasant. It is not a systematic, box-ticking list of emotions you proceed through to completion. Grieving, like living, is a process determined by the choices you make on the journey, and there are always choices.
Streams of Light from a Heart Broken addresses the questions: Where do you turn when the darkness overwhelms? Who do you turn to? How do you extend grace when words meant for comfort leave you deeply wounded? Is forward momentum even possible? Through her experiences, Grant hopes her words encourage others as they seek the brightest light in their darkest night.
When Julie Grant found herself thrust head-on into grief after the sudden loss of her husband, John, in 2018, she discovered there were only two choices to consider. She could either turn to God with all the pieces of her broken heart or turn away from Him. After deciding to courageously pursue her Father each morning with a posture of trusting surrender, she found the strength to survive one day … one hour … sometimes one breath at a time.
In a daily devotional, Julie leans on biblical inspiration while sharing a moving glimpse into her real-time journey through grief as God gently pieced her heart back together and whispered of possibilities, dreams, and life in abundance. While revealing His teachings of grace and redemption, joy and gratitude, compassion and love, trust and surrender, and the beauty to be discovered with Him, she gently reminds believers that no matter what we encounter while on this side of heaven, He is always with us.
Streams of Light from a Heart Held is a poignant daily devotional that leads believers down a path of spiritual growth and healing to the comforting understanding that God is good—all the time.
