Nothing, Absolutely Nothing....

 

 Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing can separate us, as believers from God's love. 

As a family, we were shocked to find our dad and husband had passed away. We didn't get to know ahead of time. Nor did we get to say goodbye to him. 

In our grief it has been overwhelming sadness that wants to wrap its arms around us and smother us in its grips.

But I am reminded of Jesus who wept at the news that his friend had died. He knew about the suffering of Lazarus's sisters who were devastated when their brother had died.

I find myself devastated at my husband's death. But I can take comfort that Jesus knows my own suffering and he is right here with me to rejoice that nothing can separate my husband or myself from his love. 

And he knows your suffering as well. No matter what we are going through, he has us in the palm of his Almighty hands. 

And that someday, he will wipe every tear from our eyes. No more crying, no more death, and no more tears. No more pain. When we ourselves will enter the gates of our Savior. 

Because the former things of this life will be passed away. Revelation 21:4

What a promise to hold onto even in the grips of the death of our loved one. My husband is already there. Waiting for us with others that have gone on before, for those that have been left behind.

Thanks for coming by today, friends. It has been a sad time, but I still plan on going forward with this blog, for as long as I can. 

God bless you and yours!
