How gripping and painful it is when we lose someone so close to us. Parents, a child, a sibling, a best friend, a pet. It is the most devastating thing to ever experience. How much we lose, the large hole that is placed in our hearts over the loss. The grieving never ends. It goes on for as long as we are on this earth.
Death is the result of this dis-ease. All things must die because of the fall of man. No matter how hard it is, the reality is that when we lose someone, it is a part of this life.
When the question arises, "Why did this have to happen?" the answer is; Death does not discriminate. It does not show compassion. It does not have respect for anyone. Like the plague it violates our bodies and has no care about it.
Oh dear one,
Death is a terrible disease of this world. We must come to the understanding of why death was allowed to happen. God's plan in the beginning was that each person can make their own choices. It allowed for us to be able to choose which direction we should go. He never forced His grace on anyone. It was a gift. When sin entered into this world, all things lovely, pure, holy and immortal was put to an end. Do not lean on your own understanding. We are encouraged to submit all to Jesus and He will direct our paths. Losing someone dear and near is devastating. As you grieve, Jesus is near you. He knows your pain. Reach out for His comforting hand and take it. Let Him take your pain from you and toss it to the sea. While others try to console, or don't know what to say, Jesus knows exactly what to do. Call upon Him and allow His strength to pull you to Him. Remember, Jesus died that we may live a life eternal. He is the only one who can give the healing your heart needs. As you take a hug from someone near by, or cry on their shoulders, allow Jesus to be your Counselor and Comforter. We pray for you during your time of anguish. Stay strong in the Almighty God and allow Him to hold you up. Reach out for His hand and let Him grasp yours and guide you forward. He is holding out His arms for you to fall into them. And know that our hearts are with you as you grieve. If you need us in any way. Feel free to contact us at any time.
We are here for you,
