From CHURCHLEADERS:
Country singer Granger Smith recently shared about the grief he and his family experienced three years ago when his three-year-old son, River, died in a tragic drowning incident in the family’s pool. In his interview with Faithwire’s Tré Goins-Phillips, Smith expressed that God is “sovereign,” and “providential,” and that the pain his family has experienced “is not meaningless.” Story Here

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
By this all people will know that you are my disciples,
if you have love for one another.
–John 13:34-35
