![]() The Lord is close to the brokenhearted he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help.God blesses those who mourn, for they will be comforted.And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain.I will hold you up with my victorious right hand. Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen it gives us assurance about things we cannot see.So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold-though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you have to endure many trials for a little while. For since we believe that Jesus died and was raised to life again, we also believe that when Jesus returns, God will bring back with him the believers who have died. And now, dear brothers and sisters, we want you to know what will happen to the believers who have died so you will not grieve like people who have no hope.He heals the brokenhearted and bandages their wounds.His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Then you will experience God's peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Don't worry about anything instead, pray about everything.We would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.For we will put on heavenly bodies, we will not be spirits without bodies.For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands.Through suffering, our bodies continue to share in the death of Jesus so that the life of Jesus may also be seen in our bodies.God is our merciful Father and the source of all comfort. All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.And God will raise us from the dead by his power, just as he raised our Lord from the dead.No eye has seen no ear has heard, and no mind has imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.Indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. No power in the sky above or in the earth below. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow-not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. Can anything ever separate us from Christ's love? Does it mean he longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death?.Then they can see all the glory you gave me because you loved me even before the world began. Father, I want these whom you have given me to be with me where I am.And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. I am leaving you with a gift-peace of mind and heart.And you know the way to where I am going. If this were not so, would I have told you that I am going to prepare a place for you? When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. There is more than enough room in my Father's home. I will comfort them and exchange their sorrow for rejoicing. The young women will dance for joy, and the men-old and young-will join in the celebration.Sorrow and mourning will disappear, and they will be filled with joy and gladness. They will enter Jerusalem singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Those who have been ransomed by the Lord will return.Diana Simumpande Bible Verses for the Passing of a Loved One
