Week 5; Day 5-Hearts Broken by Loss

Today's Treasure: "Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies.'" -John 11:25

We all experience loss in different forms.  Sometimes loss comes in the shape of death, relationships ending, sacrifice of materialistic things etc,. There were two things that stood out to me during this lesson. The first is that it doesn't matter what kind of loss it, it shouldn't be compared to anyone else's, because different things will impact us in different ways.  Secondly, "Christ never allows the hearts of His own to be shattered without excellent reasons and eternal purposes." Although that is difficulty to fathom when we are experiencing the loss, it is He he who brings the healing and makes good things out of something that is bad.

Question 1: How do you think the loss of faith can turn into a form of bondage?
Question 2: Has the enemy turned any of your losses into bondage? If so, please describe.
