“A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy dwelling. God sets the lonely in families.”Psalm 68:5–6

Still Held

For the divorced and the widowed: when the marriage ends, God doesn’t.

You set one less plate. You check “single” or “widowed” on a form and it takes your breath away. Maybe you feel like the church doesn’t know where to seat you anymore. Whether your marriage ended in a hospital room or a courtroom, you’re grieving a life you thought you’d have. God has a long history with people in exactly your place, and He has never once looked away from them.
