We were sorry to hear of the loss of your Dear Mother, Nancy. It reminds us of the painful heritage that we have from Adam. Yes the loss of a loved one is hard to accept and causes much sadness and sorrow. At times almost unbearable. Death is an enemy. But we have a wonderful hope of the resurrection, and a loving heavenly Father who invites us to put our trust in him.
We look forward to the time when suffering and death will be no more as Jehovah promised in Revelation 21:3,4.
What a wonderful God and Heavenly Father we have who is the source of all comfort and mercy. He gives us the strength to deal with our trials and hardships. He does this by means of his Word, Holy Spirit and His Organization through Jesus.
The words at Isa. 41:10,13 are very encouraging "10 Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness."
"13 For I, Jehovah your God, am grasping your right hand, the One saying to you, ââ?¬Ã?Do not be afraid. I myself will help you.ââ?‰?¢"
Be assured of our warm Christian love and may Jehovahchr(39)s spirit be with you during your time of sorrow.
