“Our thoughts and prayers are with you all especially the family, we would take nothing away from the grief you feel today. We would not say to you that everything is all right. Because it’s not and you know it. You hurt, and we hurt with you. And we know you will hurt for a long time. God made us so that we can have relationships with one another and when that relationship is lost we feel pain. You have lost a loved one – and it hurts.”Let not you heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me”. Yes, I know that today is a day of sadness – a day of grief, a day of mourning, yet even in the midst of this you can have peace. Why? Because we have faith – we believe. We believe that even in the midst of the storm – even in the valley of the shadow of death there can be a peace that pass all understanding – because we know that God is with us. The 23rd Psalm says that too, doesn’t it. “Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.” He is here. He is present. Believe in Him – Trust in Him and God will grant you his perfect peace.”
