These past three months has been a sweet sad one for me. A lot of Friends and family members close to my heart loss one of their loved ones these past month and when this happens I am always so helpless as to how to act. I know there is usually not a right or wrong words to say at that point. I know comfort is the only thing at that point they respond to. In the mist of my speechlessness and "cluelessness", I search deep for inspirational words to tell them. This is what came to my spirit yesterday.
Words for those that have Loss a Loved Ones
We can not question God for what he did or did not do. He said in His word that His ways are not our ways. While the happenings in our life might have no meaning to us, know that these happenings are part of a greater plan that God has for us.
Isaiah 55:8-9 KJV
"[8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. [9] For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts."
Our prayers each day should be that God should use us to accomplish His will/plan on earth. The little we can do to ensure this becomes a reality is for us to align ourselves with God. Let's keep walking in the Faith and love as Christ instructed us to do.
Our comfort each day is that one day we will meet our Saviour (and our loved ones with him) as we keep walking in His righteousness.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 KJV
[16] For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: [17] Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. [18] Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
