COMFORT

This word is one word that I know is quite strange to a family I know right now, who just lost their breadwinner, did I just say lost?

Well, we Christians are taught that when you lose someone here on earth, God gains the person abi? But why is it still so painful to think that the person is leaving us and going to God?

I guess its the blood that binds us, that is if he/she's family or the good times we shared or even the fights we miss. But somehow its just too sudden when our loved one transcends on to the great beyond and we just cant come to terms with all the voices we keep hearing say take heart, because we've been numbed by shock and greater shock that we didn't prepare for it, can we  even really prepare for death?

But through it all, you just find strength somehow to pull through it and forge ahead with life. So to you who have lost someone, I guess the number one comfort is in knowing that God has gained that one, and that like in our childish minds those days when we use to think he/she has gone abroad where life is so much more easy, he/she has actually gone to a better place in heaven.

Away with the pain and in comes peace, only they just didn't bargain how we'd feel here right? Take heart, take solace, take comfort in knowing that away from the flesh means present with the Lord.
