We've all had loved ones pass away.
It hurts bone deep.
The tears seem to have no end.
Grief brings on many emotions.
Some people get angry at God.
God has a plan for all of His children.
God doesn't take us home until we have run the race.
In the last few months there have been a lot of my sisters and brothers in the Lord to lose someone dear to them.
My heart goes out to them because I've lost many loved ones.
When someone has been sick for a long time it's easier to let go of them.
But even then we don't want to let them go.
Mom has been gone for almost 8 years and I still miss her.
My daughter died 30 years ago and I still miss her.
The Lord has helped me through these times when the loss was great.
He has comforted me and put a peace in my heart.
I know that when my race is run I will see then again.
Without that hope and knowledge it would be hard to go on.
That I'll see Jesus who died on the cross for my sins will be there to greet me.
That is so awesome!
When I think about my loved ones sitting with Jesus it gives me reason to smile.
Sometimes God will bring someone home because maybe something was going to happen in their life that they couldn't handle.
A person who pass away in an accident is harder to take.
We tend to grieve longer because it seems so unfair.
When you seek the Lord and ask for help to get through the hard days He will be there for you.
The Lord will comfort you and give you peace.
The worst way to loose a loved one is because they were murdered.
The anger is so strong.
You want revenge for their death.
Most people are not only angry with the one who did the act.
They are also angry with God for not stopping what happened.
I can't explain why God doesn't top things like that.
But who am I to question what God does or doesn't do?
If we could see the whole picture than we'd understand.
As a Christian we know they'll never be in pain again.
That they're with the Lord and enjoying their life.
They will never be in need of anything.
The angels will take care of them.
Dreams they dreamed while on the earth they're living now.
There is no pain, anger, sadness, confussion in their lives.
Remember they're waiting for you to finish the race so you can be with them again.
There is one more thing you have to do to see them again.
First you have to give your heart to the Lord.
Then you have to walk in the ways of the Lord.
You also have to forgive the person who took your loved ones life.
We have all sinned.
There is no sin worse than another.
But He also says if you don't forgive those who hurt you that He can't forgive you.
I know it's a hard thing sometimes but the Lord will help you all you have to do is ask.
My prayers are with all that are in need of this word the Lord has given me.
May the love of the Lord cover you and give you peace in your heart.
PRAISE GOD THE FATHER, JESUS OUR SAVIOR, AND THE HOLY SPIRIT
THAT LIVES WITHIN ALL CHRISTIANS.
