Blessed are those who mourn, for
they will be comforted.
( Matthew 5:4 *NIV )
Dear Addison,
When you lose someone that you love, take comfort in
knowing that those who were saved are now with God. For
it is written that when we die; The dust returns to the
ground it came from, and the spirit returns to
God who gave it. ( Ecclesiastes 12:7 )
Therefore; Brothers, we do not want you
to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or
to grieve like the rest of men, who have no
hope. We believe that Jesus died and rose again
and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus
those who have fallen asleep in him, at the end time.
( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14 )
So Addison, take comfort in knowing you will see them
again, for it isn't the end of them but only the beginning! The
beginning of a much better life where; He will wipe
every tear from their eyes. There will be no
more death or mourning or crying or pain,
for the old order of things has passed away."
( Revelation 21:4 )
Now I would like to share something with you that has
helped many who have lost someone. It is called "Safely
Home." I pray that it will minister to those of you who
have lost a dear one.
SAFELY HOME
I am home in Heaven, dear ones;
Oh, so happy and so bright!
There is perfect joy and beauty
In this everlasting light.
All the pain and grief is over,
Every restless tossing passed;
I an now at peace forever,
Safely home in Heaven at last.
Did you wonder I so calmly
Trod the valley of the shade?
Oh! But Jesus' love illumined
Every dark and fearful glade.
And He came Himself to meet me
In that way so hard to tread;
And with Jesus' arm to lean on,
Could I have one doubt or dread?
Then you must not grieve so sorely,
For I love you dearly still:
Try to look beyond earth's shadows,
Pray to trust our Father's Will.
There is work still waiting for you,
So you must not idly stand;
Do it now, while life remaineth--
You shall rest in Jesus' land.
When that work is all completed,
He will gently call you Home;
Oh, the pleasure of that meeting,
Oh, the joy to see you come!
All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen
