No words can make the pain go away… No… I know what you’re going through or I’ve been there before is going to remove the pain you are feeling. Just know that I’m here praying for your strength to make it through.
Revelation 21:3, 4 speaks of a beautiful time in the future, Acts 24:15 speaks of the resurrection and John 5:28, 29 promises the resurrection will occur.
These are a few of my favorite scriptures that helped when dealing with the loss of a loved one. I hope they help can help you…
