TO THE FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THIS VERY SPECIAL YOUNG MAN, I AM SO SORRY THIS GRIVIOUS PAIN HAS COME INTO YOUR LIFE. REALLY, NO WORDS CAN TRULY EXPRESS THIS FOR YOU. WHEN I LOSS MY ONLY SON, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, IT WAS LIKE THE WORLD WENT DARK FOR ME..BUT WHAT GAVE ME 'LIGHT' AGAIN WERE SOME VERY COMFORTING SCRIPTURES FROM THE BIBLE..PLEASE LET ME SHARE A FEW WITH YOU. THE BIBLE IS VERY EXPLICITE WHEN IT TELLS US ABOUT DEATH AND THE HOPE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE DIED..JESUS LIKENED DEATH TO SLEEP AND REST..THAT'S IN THE 11TH CHAPTER OF JOHN..AND IN JOHN 5:28,29. WE ARE COMFORTED BY THIS SCRIPTURE TELLING US OF THE RESURRECTION..ALMOST UNBELIEVEABLE, BUT TRUE..BECAUSE GOD NEVER LIES..(HEBREWS 6:18). THIS SCRIPTURE IN REVELATION 21:4, IS REMARKABLE BECAUSE IT IS LIKE NO OTHER..IT SAYS THAT A TIME WILL COME WHEN GOD WILL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS, MOURNING, PAIN, OUTCRY AND EVEN DEATH..WILL BE DONE AWAY WITH FOREVER! WE ARE NOT TOLD WHEN THIS WILL HAPPEN, BUT WE ARE GIVEN A CLUE AT REVELATION 11:18, WHERE IT SAYS.."..AND GOD WILL BRING TO RUIN THOSE RUINING THE EARTH" IS MAN DOING THAT? SO GOD HAS PROMISED US THAT HE WILL PUT AN END TO ALL THINGS CAUSING PAIN AND SUFFERING..AND THEN THE RESURRECTION BEGINS! IT WILL BE MORE THEN WONDERFUL..THEN GOD'S ORIGINAL PURPOSE FOR MAN WILL BE FULFILLED..PSALMS 37:29. PLEASE ACCEPT MY SINCERE CONDOLENCES , AND MAY JEHOVAH, GIVE YOU PEACE AND COMFORT YOU ALWAYS.
