10/16/14-Thought for the day... I just got home from singing at a wake for family that lost a loved one. Everytime I go to these, I can feel the broken hearts, as they say their final goodbyes. I hope and pray that our songs bring comfort to those that hurt. I wish I could take their pain away, but I know they have to bear it to heal. I close friend commented that, when their loved ones passed, the love they gave went with them. That they no longer feel that persons love. That they dont have their love anymore. So, what is love? 1 John 4:8 says, Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. God is love! Love is eternal. Love does not die. Love stays with us forever. When our loved ones pass on, the love that they gave us, for so many years, will never leave us. Its always there. Pray that God will allow you to feel that love again. Love is passed to us and we pass it to our children and grandchildren. It never dies or goes away. While you are healing from the loss of a loved one, God will comfort you (2 Corinthians 7:6). The Bible tells us that God is the Father of mercies and that He will comfort us in all our tribulations (2 Corinthians 1:3-4). Be assured that God loves you and that He understands how much you are hurting. God promises you in Isaiah 43:2 that when you go through deep waters and great trouble, He will be with you. When you go through rivers of difficulty, you will not drown. When you walk through the fire of oppression you will not be burned up; the flames will not consume you. Run to the shelter of the Most High where you will find sweet rest (Psalm 91:1-2) Loss of a loved one hurts so bad and everyone heals in their own way. Some people can heal quicker than others. This doesnt mean they forget, it just means they had enough time to move on in life. The hurt is always there but Love is eternal. Love is God. And God will always be there. He will never leave you, nor forsake you (Deuteronomy 31:6). Gods message to my friend is that the Love you recieved from your late family will always be with you and never leave you. Its eternal. You have the gift of their love within you and you pass that gift to your children and grandchildren. Since God is love, ask God to refill that void thats in your heart. God Bless you all~Bill
