Twenty Third Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He maketh me to lie
down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restores my
soul, He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea,
though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
for Thou art with me, thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a
table before me in the presence of mine enemies; thou anointest my head with
oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the
days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
You have my sincere sympathy for the passing of Marcus. I hope you will be comforted by Jesus' promise of the resurrection(Acts 24:15)when all those who have fallen asleep in death, will raised up and restored back to life, with the prospect of eternal life, on the renewed Paradise earth.-John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43. Until you are reunited with your loved one again, may Jehovah God grant you peace and comfort, during this time of sorrow.-Matthew 5:4.
ReplyDeleteI was saddened to hear that Marcus 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.
To the Family.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for the lost of your family member and dear friend. I have an encouraging message that I would like to share with you from God’s Word the Bible.
Like many people we all want to live and enjoy life with the ones we have lost to this aged-old-enemy death. Sadly, though because of health issues, injustice, crimes and old age we have to suffer the pain when ones fall asleep in death.
In the Bible at John 5:28,29 Christ Jesus states that all those in the memorial tombs (graves) will hear his voice and come out. These ones according to Psalm 37:11 will be resurrected right here on the earth.
The Bible also gives us comfort and hope at Revelation 21:3-5 which assures us that the day is soon to come in which our Heavenly Father is going to wipe away the tears of sorrow from our eyes forever and death will be no more.
I hope that after reading this that it will be of comfort to each of you.

I have decided after 6 months to the day to finally leave a comment here-because earlier it was just too hard to bear. I KNOW my honeybun is in Heaven-as much as he was in pain sometimes, he always had a smile on his face for me and did something or said something to make me laugh. I know I did the best I could to keep his spirits up, throughout the circumstances. He was and is still to me a beautiful human being and an inspiration to me-everyday that I wake up I feel enourmous saddness, but I am slso BLESSED that the Lord Jesus Christ thought enough of me for me to have known this man and love him with ALL my heart. I still remember his beautiful smile when I made him happy, (or if his Gators beat my Bulldogs in football.) It was a rivalry but a fun one. He never ceased to amaze me with his incredible spirit and I have loved Marcus Lamar Johnson for 12 and 1/2 years and will love him until the day I die. Until I see you again Honeybun, I love you.

Today marks one year that God decided to call my honeybun home to be with him. It hasn't been easy for me, but I do know that he would want me to continue life and be successful. I miss his personality, his smile, and most of all his love for me. Marcus you mean the world to me, and I will love you until the day I die. God Bless you. I LOVE you.
ReplyDeleteI leave this comment in a lot of pain for losing you...I still don't know why-I am left with your memories and the raising of our daughter (cat)and the new year will NEVER be the same without you. Honeybun it doesn't matter I still love you and cherish everyday we spent together and will LOVE you until the day I die. Until I see you again baby,
