How God used my grief to bring me closer to Him

AI's interpretation of Daniel 3, with particular reference to: "He said, 'Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.'"

During every trial that I've gone through, I have tangibly experienced the presence of the Lord, but none more so than in the last three years.

To lose one close family member is hard, but three? In quick succession? A tougher person than me might ask "Why, Lord?" and buckle or lose faith under the weight of such devastation.

My circumstances have changed irrevocably but God has not – He is still the same, almighty, all-knowing, sovereign and good. I have changed in character, but His character is still the same – kind, loving, generous, merciful, comforting.
