Dear brother SpiritLedEd,
you are so precious to our Lord, who knows your troubles and pains, and has promised to send His comfort, yes, and blessing.... yea, Jesus Himself said, "Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4
He did not suggest it might happen, no, He did not even say we need look for it.... He said, and cannot lie, nor does He today, you SHALL be comforted... and I will, and even now am praying for you and your beloved wife.... and I know that your mourning is great, my dear brother in Christ.... and so shall be the comfort of God in Jesus Christ our Lord for you both this day.
Bless you ....><>
and dear paul_mj,
I also encourge you in the comfort of God in Christ Jesus the Lord, yes, the blessing He longs to give unto you and your wife, and pray you know His tender and soothing comfort this day.
Bless you ....><>
Br. Bear
ps... to you both my beloved brothers,
I know you have probably read and heard this Scripture many times.... but today, I ask the Lord, that by His everlasting Spirit, He grant unto you a new blessing of His joy, peace and wonderful love as you read anew the words of the Lord.... and discover the eternal freshness of His promise... and in so being mightily blessed, you take and share the love and comfort of God in Christ Jesus the Lord with your dear and beloved, precious wives.
And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying,
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men,
and he will dwell with them,
and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them,
and be their God.
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.
And he that sat upon the throne said,
Behold,
I make all things new.
And he said unto me,
Write: for these words are true and faithful.
And he said unto me,
It is done.
I am Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end.
I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things;
and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son.
Rvelation 21:1-7
Isaiah 53:4+5
Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
Dear Lord, yes, surely you know our hearts and pain, for you have borne them upon yourself for each one of us... and Lord Jesus I ask you now to lift the heavy weight of mourning from my brothers as they reach out to you in fellowship and love, trusting in your everlasting mercy and truth... yes dear Jesus we seek your face and know that you are so familiar with all our deep and personal needs... and I ask you please to speedily comfort and send even more of your blessings upon my brothers .... yes Lord, your comfort and grace in this their time of need... bless you Jesus my beautiful Lord.. I love you and thank you for your love to us, your children of your love... bless you Jesus.... dear Lord, amen
