No Light Matter

Psalm 116: 15Precious (important and no light matter) in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints (His loving ones) (AMP).                                                                                                                                                                      

The mailman thought it must be my birthday, but then he, too, offered condolences on the death of my sister. Many kind people remembered us with cards and letters. One of those was especially important to me because of the Bible verse engraved on the front. I’ve looked it up in several versions. The thought is the same.

Psalm 116:15Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints (KJV).

Psalm 116:15How painful it is to the Lord when one of his people dies (Good News).

God loves us. Every nuance of our life touches Him. He understands our loss because He, too, has lost a loved one, His Son Jesus, in a most terrible way. The great news is that Jesus didn’t stay dead and neither do our loved ones if they know Jesus as their Savior!   

1 Corinthians 15: 55, 57Oh death where is thy sting? Oh grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (KJV).

Prayer: Sometimes, Lord, losing our loved ones seems too much to bear. Forgive us for not sharing our grief with you and then choosing your comfort. Forgive us for selfishly dwelling on our own grief and forgetting about Yours. In Christ’s name. Amen.
