Psalm 147:3
King James Version
3 He healeth the broken in heart,
and bindeth up their wounds.
Have you known death, in the family?
Have you experienced death, up close?
Has someone died, in your arms?
Have you devoted your life to someone, because they depended on you, for love, and care, only to be taken up to God, eventually?
All these, I've experienced most recently.
Mercifully, I had been studying the Bible in the last 25 months, as born again, being guided each day, by the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD.
Had I not known the WORD of GOD, I'd have fallen apart.
For my heart is shattered in so many pieces.
Only through God's promise of eternal life, and His love for my baby sister, keeps me going.
I must go on, that her many sacrifices would be honored.
All who have known death, would understand the pain of having a beloved member of the family, re-join GOD.
It will test your faith.
It will make you look into God's ways.
This post is for all who have lost loved ones, who are afraid to lose loved ones, or those who fear for the future.
Let JESUS give us the strength we need.
For anything that may go our way.
Be it in life, or in death.
John 14:16-17
King James Version
16 And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter,
that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth;
whom the world cannot receive,
because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him:
but ye know him;
for he dwelleth with you,
and shall be in you.
Matthew 5:4
King James Version
4 Blessed are they that mourn:
for they shall be comforted.
John 6:37-40
King James Version
37 All that the Father giveth me shall come to me;
and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out.
38 For I came down from heaven,
not to do mine own will,
but the will of him that sent me.
39 And this is the Father's will which hath sent me,
that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing,
but should raise it up again at the last day.
40 And this is the will of him that sent me,
that every one which seeth the Son,
and believeth on him,
may have everlasting life:
and I will raise him up at the last day.

all ye that labour and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.

for I am meek and lowly in heart:
and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy,
and my burden is light.

hast thou not heard,

the Creator of the ends of the earth,

there is no searching of his understanding.
29 He giveth power to the faint;
and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.
30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary,
and the young men shall utterly fall:
31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles;
they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.

10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities,
in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions,
in distresses for Christ's sake:
for when I am weak,
then am I strong.

even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of mercies,
and the God of all comfort;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation,
that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble,
by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us,
so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.
6 And whether we be afflicted,
it is for your consolation and salvation,
which is effectual in the enduring
of the same sufferings which we also suffer:
or whether we be comforted,
it is for your consolation and salvation.
7 And our hope of you is stedfast,
knowing,
that as ye are partakers of the sufferings,
so shall ye be also of the consolation.
