Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceSorry about your loss. Whenever someone we love brings great sadness That's because we want those we love to live and be with family.Death was not part of Jehovah purpose in the beginning.He wants us to live and be with family forever. [John 3:16]why then do humans die? The bible answers that question. Read : [Romans 5:12] what about those who have died already? Read John : [5:28-29]There we are shown that Jesus will bring back those who have died. Reuniting them with family and friends right here on Earth. What a wonderful time that will be. [Matthew 5:5] when God's will is done on Earth as it is in Heaven. Matthew :[ 6:9-10] Death will be no more. Revelation [ 21:4] What a wonderful future awaits those who put faith in Jehovah our loving father.
God did not purpose his human family to suffer death, but purposed us to live and enjoy life. That’s still his purpose (Psalm 37:11, 29). May the family draw comfort from the scriptural promises at Acts 24:15 and Rev 21:3, 4 knowing that God cannot lie (Isaiah 46:10, 11).
I want to offer my condolences to the Thomas family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose someone very precious, yet no one else can really know all that you feel except our Heavenly Father. He knows and feels your pain. He calls death an enemy and has promised to remove death forever__ 1Corinthians 15:26 “The last enemy, Death, is to be brought to nothing”; Isaiah 25:8 “he will swallow up death forever.” Job 14:15 says that our Creator is eager to awaken our love one from death. It says "You will call, and I will answer you. You will long for the work of your hands." What a joy it will be the see our love ones again! I hope these words give all of you comfort.
My condolences to the Thomas Family and friends for your loss of a dear loved one. Trust in God to comfort and sustain you at this time. Psalms 55:22
Sorry for your loss 2cor 1:3,4
My condolences to the family. I sincerely hope that your grief does not overwhelm you. A strong belief in a loving God can comfort you during this time. Psalms 34:15 says, “the eyes of Jehovah are on the righteous, and his ears listen to their cry for help.” Prayer can become good therapy, and can help us to build on our relationship with our creator who can use his power to help us cope.
May GOD give you strength and comfort during this most challenging time. My sincere condolences to the family. Remember GOD is a GOD of all comfort. “GOD is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress.” Psalm 46:2
