I know the pain associated with death and I was saddened to hear that Orlando had passed away, but what helped bring comfort was to find that the Bible speaks of a time when death will be done away with:
ReplyDeleteIsa. 25:8, 9: “He will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces. . . . And in that day one will certainly say: ‘Look! This is our God. We have hoped in him, and he will save us. This is Jehovah. We have hoped in him. Let us be joyful and rejoice in the salvation by him.’”
Also at John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.”
I know you will still experience pain, grief, and sorrow but I hope that these scriptures will bring some measure of comfort to you.
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your love one. When death strikes, the pain can be devastating to cope with, but know that Jehovah God cares and will give you the strength to endure this time of sorrow.-I Peter 5:7; Psalms 55:22. Death isn't the end of things, Jesus gives us the resurrection hope for those who have fallen asleep in death, to be raised back to life on the paradise earth.-John 5:28,29; 11:38-44; Luke 23:43. May Jehovah God continue blessing your family.-I John 4:8.
