In the past few weeks I have attended 3 wakes and two funerals. What strikes me at this moment is the strong message that rings out. God is the answer. Although these people were taken from this earth, all of them had this belief and faith that assured them of a better place. Their families are all comforted in knowing this. The person that has passed has left those of us here with this beautiful witness of love and faith they possessed. Of course, those of us left here on earth are sad for their passing. At times we don't even know how we will survive with out them. It is true that time heals; however there are losses of children, spouses, parents, and friends that seem as though they leave a hole in us that will never be filled.
God is a healer of all things. “For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds,” says the Lord. (Jeremiah 30:17). Although we may believe this scripture with our whole heart and our whole soul, there is still sadness. I can only say from my own experience that I need to turn to God every day and ask for his healing for myself and my loved ones and friends. Often times it seems that no matter how faithful you are, the sadness lingers. In those times I need to turn to God and ask Him to give me strength.
I will continue to keep my loved ones and friends and their families in my prayers. So they know the peace that only God may offer. The peace that truly passes all understanding. May you be comforted in your sorrow.
