“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. “ Matthew 5:4

God knows our hearts. He lovingly wraps His Spirit of strength around those who are wounded by loss. He comforts us in care and helps us find courage in the shelter of His strength. 

At some time in our lives, we will all experience pain. We will feel the weight of sadness in our hearts. But, Christ will lead us to a place of calm. He will bandage sores of our souls and cover our wounds of weakness. He will provide strength to be reminded LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS! 

God loves us! He promises eternal life and HOPE in the healing of forever. When we surrender to Him and believe Jesus is the Christ; the Son of God, we understand death is NOT final. We cling to the promise of eternal life and find hope in knowing there is NO MORE suffering. 

Christ will hold us as we faithfully trust in Him and find courage to handle difficult days. He will nurture the heart of our faithfulness and help us receive the Father’s love. And, when memories remind us of those we miss, He will heal our broken hearts and provide strength to remember we will NEVER be far from those we love. 

Dear God, Thank you for holding us in weakness. You provide courage to handle loss in our lives. Draw us nearer to the love of Your faithfulness and help us find HOPE in the promise of eternal life. We will find strength in You and allow the memories of those we love to remain in our hearts forever. And, we will honor their lives by the way we choose to honor You. Amen
