Can you be sad and still trust God?

Blind I may be, but Christ sees for me, and with Him I am safe!

Until we can in a measure get this attitude of mind, the suffering, the feeling of isolation and despair will go on. We suffer, the shadows are pressing, but now and always, God's protection is complete because we emerge from the darkness into the Light. 

This is what so-called death represents—that final emerging from the twilight of earthly experience into the Light of Revelation when Love surrounds us and joy is our natural environment because we are living in God's Eternal Day.
