“Pour out your heart to Him, for God is our refuge” Psalm 62:8b NLT

God lovingly wraps His Spirit of strength around those who are wounded by loss. He helps us find comfort and calm. He sees tears that fall and knows the heart of all weakness. He helps us find peace in His presence.   

At some time in our lives, we will experience pain and feel the weight of sadness. But Christ will lift us with arms of strength and bandage sores of the soul. He will cover wounds and help us remember LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS… 

God loves us! He promises eternal life and HOPE in the healing of FOREVER. When we believe Jesus is the Christ; the Son of God, we understand heaven is where we find wholeness. 

“Hope is centered in the risen Christ.” Death is a beginning. It’s not the end of the story for those who know Jesus. To be “absent from the body” is to be “present with the Lord.” Oh, how we need to be reminded there will be NO MORE suffering for those receive their reward.  

LOVE will remain in our hearts forever. It will hold us together when it’s time to say goodbye. It will help us remember who’s in charge of our days and provide courage to keep on going… 

Don’t be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Isaiah 41:10 NLT 

God, thank you for holding us together in difficult moments of our lives. You provide courage to help us handle our days. 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. We will honor their lives by the way we honor You. And we will remember LOVE BEARS ALL THINGS. Thank you for Your love for us and those we love. Thank you for the beauty of their lives. Amen
