Today's Scripture
"And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God's love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow . . . not even the powers of hell can separate us from God's love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below . . . indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:38-39 NLT
Thoughts for Today
Grieving over the death of a love one involves a process. This process will vary for individuals and may last several months or even years. Although working through the process is different for everyone, some things never change.
Jesus always understands. He experienced grief in the death of his friend Lazarus and in facing his own death and separation from his Father.
God's mercy is always available. Join the psalmist in this prayer: "Take care of me, for your mercy is so plentiful." Psalm 69:16 NLT
God abounds in mercy and lovingkindness. Psalm 31:7 NLT
God always loves you. Today's Scripture assures us that nothing can separate us from his love . . . not death, not life, not worries about today and not fears about tomorrow. In times of stress and sorrow and change, God's love is a constant comfort. "I will be glad and rejoice in your unfailing love, for you have seen my troubles, and you care about the anguish of my soul." Psalm 31:7 NLT
Consider this . . .
There is always hope. No matter how bleak things seem, if you place your trust in Jesus, he will guide you and fill you with hope for the future. Jesus Christ . . . the same yesterday, today and forever. Hebrews 13:8
Prayer
Father, I thank you so much that even as everything else around me seems to be changing, I can always count on you. I know that you never change. You will always love me, always show me mercy and always give me hope. In Jesus' name . . .
