IN THE ARMS OF GOD

Everyone who lives and believes in me will never die.

John 11:26

We don’t like to say good-bye to those whom we love. Whether it be at a school or a cemetery, separation is tough. It is right for us to weep, but there is no need for us to despair. They had pain here. They have no pain there. They struggled here. They have no struggles there. You and I might wonder why God took them home. But they don’t. They understand. They are, at this very moment, at peace in the presence of God.…

When it is cold on earth, we can take comfort in knowing that our loved ones are in the warm arms of God. And when Christ comes, we will hold them, too.

When Christ Comes
[1]

Today's Scripture in Context

Note: How critical is it to recognize that your primary mission field is your family … your loved ones … your friends! When you are certain they have placed their faith in Jesus Christ, when death comes you will grieve … but you will also have the peace of God knowing they are in His arms.
