To Make the Sad Untrue

She would have been five years old today.

Though she never left the womb with the breath to even breathe the name of her creator, Sydney’s life, in all of its brevity, has proclaimed it loudly and boldly through her parent’s faithful testimony; through their grieving. Out loud. But not without hope. The hope in the truth that Jesus came to make the sad untrue.

This truth is now, and it is not yet.

Her song, written by the two people who feel the sting of her death most bitterly, gives voice to their process of grief and illuminates their journey of striving to trust Him fully.

Even through the fog of doubt and the pain of loss, we can sing in spirit and in truth, a broken, sincere, hopeful, resounding HALLELUJA!
