And since words can't erase the sorrow you are feeling now I'd like to share these 3 messages of hope from God's Word that help comfort me in my times of losing loved ones. John 5:28-29 promises a resurrection, Ps 37:29 tells us that we will live forever here on earth and Rev 21:4-5 promises there will be no more pain or death. We have all these things to look forward to in the near future when the time is right. I know God doesn't take our loved ones from us but that he will reunite us again soon. My heart goes out to you all in your sorrow and I hope that you experience the same measure of comfort that I do from God's promises. Very sincerely, Dee Bishop
