Grief and emptiness rival faith and Trust.

 John 10:27 “My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me.  28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand.  29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand.  30 I and the Father are one.”     These are the words of Jesus.    No one can snatch us out of our Father’s hand!!!    I have a couple of my dear friends preparing to go home to Heaven.  Grief and emptiness rival faith and trust.   It’s hard to see the goodness of God when our beloved is dying.   If we believe, what we say we believe,  we can know our beloved, when they leave their earthly body, will be more alive than they have ever been!!!   Can you imagine the glory?     A dear Pastor friend of mine advised me, when I am missing my beloved; I should see her in heaven, smiling happy, and her in her new glorified body. When I do this, I feel peace with her transition. No one not even death can snatch us out of our father‘s loving hands Hold onto to Hope today, letting the peace of God rule your heart.   Romans 8:18 “ I consider that our present sufferings not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”   Keep the faith!!   God loves our beloved, even more than we do!!
