I am deeply saddened by the passing of a young man who left this earth way too soon. A life so precious that we will not let it fade. I cannot begin to imagine the pain that loved ones are going through right now. I don’t know why some leave this earth way too soon. In my heart I know that God has a plan and I try to make it make sense…but to my finite mind, it does not . With grief this fresh, it is difficult to understand and It does not initially make it any easier for the loved ones left behind. It makes no sense, it is all a blur of tears, shock, pain and deep grief.
I think if we are honest, we could all recall saying at some point, “Why did God let this happen?” “Where is his miracle?” “Where is God?” According to His Word…God is right here in the middle of it all. Holding on and cradling our loved ones and waiting for us to allow Him to comfort us.
It is not an easy road to travel. Family & friends are needed now more than ever…needed to stand together and offer love and support in these sad times.
May I respectfully offer a ray of Hope…some Good News? You may not want to hear it right now and that is okay…so when you are ready…here it is— If we believe that Jesus is God’s Son and died and rose again to be Our Savior…we can be reassured that we WILL SEE our loved ones again. When it is God’s Time, Jesus is coming back for us. He will personally meet us and carry us home. We have a Heavenly Home waiting. A home free of pain , tears and sadness.
JESUS says it best, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust in Me. There are many rooms in My Father’s house, I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you may be where I am.” John 14:1-3 (NCV)
