I am sorry to read of the passing of your loved one. Words don't always ease the pain when you are grieving the death of a loved one, but I hope you will find comfort in Jesus' promise of the resurrection hope(Acts 24:15)of restoring all those sleeping in death back to life, on the renewed Paradise earth(John 5:28,29; Luke 23:43) what a wonderful blessing to look forward too. Until then, may God grant you peace and comfort during this grievous time.-Matthew 5:4.

ReplyDeleteI was saddened to hear that Kenneth 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.
My brother was the most amazing friend and brother anything you need him to do he will do it he was always a fighter he would never give up on anything when he starts something he finishes it even though I moved to Alabama he continued to keep in contact with me to make sure I was alright because our father is not here to do it I look towards him for experience and guidance. Questions that I don't have the answers to I would call him an he would suggest I'm really going to miss my friend an brother it seems like it's always the good ones and the bad ones are doing all kinds of dirt even family. I find comfort in knowing that God has a purpose for my brother an it was God's timing I know that he s in a better place to do Gods will. He's the perfect angel I will always love you Love your sister Diane & family
