Where this name appears
““It shall be eighteen thousand reeds around: and the name of the city from that day shall be, ‘Yahweh is there.’”
Ezekiel 48:35 · World English Bible
The God who is present — in the place you wish you weren't, in the season you didn't choose.
Ezekiel saw a city renewed and named simply 'The Lord Is There.' Your address may have changed. Your circumstances may have collapsed. But the name of the place where God dwells is wherever you are. You have not been left behind.
"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted."
Four small steps. Don't try to do all of them. Pick one. Do it today.
Jesus wept. You may too. Grief refused does not disappear — it goes underground and grows. Make space for it. It is love with nowhere to go.
Not the headline grief — the small things. The smell of their coat. The way they said your name. Grief shared is grief carried, not erased.
Light a candle. Visit the place. Cook the meal. Rituals are how the body remembers what the heart cannot yet articulate.
From God. From a friend. From yourself. Refuse the urge to perform 'strong.' Let yourself be cared for, even imperfectly.
