  • From:  M.L.HURT

    Very sorry to read of the passing of your dead loved one Scott. Life is such a precious gift and yet so short-lived for the time we exist. I am writing to share a few words of comfort and encouragement from the source of truth the bible. God holds out a wonderful hope for all those in the grave. At John 11:25 Jesus said " I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE. HE THAT EXERCISES FAITH IN ME, EVEN THOUGH HE DIES, WILL COME TO LIFE." The nine accounts of ones in the bible who were resurrected are a guarantee that the resurrection of others is possible. God can bring back the dead he holds within his perfect memory. (John 5-28,29) What a blessed reason to hope in God! With the gift of your memories of Scott they will bring you great joy. When a loved one becomes a memory that memory turns into a treasure. Talking, writing, and reading the information in the bible about the resurrection will help with the grieving process. May you and yours lean on Jehovah God for the strength you need at this sad time. (Psalms 83-18) Agaape M.L.Hurt
