I can’t pretend that I understand, but I can offer you the hope that we have as Christians. The only source of hope we have is Jesus and his words to us in the Bible. You can be assured that Jesus knows exactly what you are going through and he is there for you and he cares. I Peter 5:7 says, “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” He cries every tear you cry and he longs for the day when he can wipe all your tears away. “He will swallow up death forever. The sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces.” (Isaiah 25:8) I Corinthians 15:54-57 says, “Where O death is your victory? Where O death is your sting? But thanks be to God. He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” Death has no power over Christians; it’s just a means of bringing us to our real home in heaven where God wipes away our every tear and there’s no more death, mourning, crying, or pain. (Rev 21:4) By faith you know that you will see your mom again. Having faith means you can be sure of what you hope for and certain of what you do not see. (Heb 11:1) Paul tells us in I Thessalonians 4 not to grieve in the same way as unbelievers who have no hope, but to remember that the dead in Christ will rise again as we also will do. Your mother belonged to God in life, and she belongs to him in death. (Rom 14:8) You can trust that God truly knows what is best for her and for you even though we can’t even begin to comprehend it. God will strengthen your faith and your relationship with him during these difficult years. He will put his arms around you and enable you to be strong and put your trust in him because his kingdom cannot fail. I grieve with you in the loss of your mother, and I am praying for you. God will help you through this. <BR/>Love,<BR/>AlyssaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34587382.post-75982745062576588252007-12-26T22:57:00.000-06:002007-12-26T22:57:00.000-06:00Thanks for sharing Danielle, I'm praying for you. ...Thanks for sharing Danielle, I'm praying for you.
