HOW GOD COMFORTS US

When a loved one dies, it always comes as a shock. You feel completely overcome by the loss and you realize that you will have to make difficult decisions and changes in the future.

Though you might experience your loss as very painful and almost unbearable, always hold onto God's promise of help and comfort, "As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you " Is 66:13

When you are trying to come to terms with pain after death of a loved one, you are sure to be comforted by the Word of God and the accounts of others with similar experiences.

A wise man once said to a grieving friend, "I have not come to comfort you - God alone can do that. I merely come to tell you how deeply and sincerely I share in your loss."

God uses people who reveal genuine concern for others to channel his comfort to those who are grieving.

Trust God from day to day. His comfort will be a refreshing spring shower in the barren dessert.

If you trust Him when the tree of your life was covered with spring blossoms, you can trust Him when grief has you in icy grip.

Father I plead with you, to grant me your comfort because you alone can give it. Heal the wound in my heart torn by grief, and grant that I shall be able to see the rainbow of hope through my tears.

Rv:21:4: And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Acts:24:15: And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

Rom:5:5: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.

Rom:15:13: Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

1Thes:4:13: But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

Jn:16:20: Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.

Jn:16:22: And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

1Thes:4:17: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Mt:19:14: But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

Mt:2:18: In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.

Mt:5:4: Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Jn:14:18: I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.
