Dear Family Members; Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of your dear loved one . Losing a loved one can be the most difficult time in a persons life. Are we not truly blessed with the hope our God has given us of seeing our loved ones again. The loving comfort from his word brings us much relief and confidence in the blessings he has promised us. Revelation 21:4 "And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” John 5:28,29 "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out" Isaiah 35:5,6 "At that time the eyes of the blind will be opened, And the ears of the deaf will be unstopped. At that time the lame will leap like the deer, And the tongue of the speechless will shout for joy." The thought of spending time with our loved ones again when they will be in perfect health here on earth with us again is very appealing isn't it. Our God had these wonderful promises written for us and he tells us why at Romans 15:4 "For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope." I hope these thoughts from God's word have brought you some comfort and you will be able to reflect on this wonderful hope when you think of your loved one.
