Death no longer has power Rom 6:9

i sent this to someone who lost a lifetime friend in her 40s from cancer and felt it might be helpful for anyone who has lost someone and hurts.  The purpose of this note is not to play down the very painful reality of grief.  There are many who will love and caress your wounds and allow you to grieve.  My note comes from angie, often called the encourager.  i am looking to give a Strength and Power that only comes from God to fortify those in times of utter exhaustion and weakness....There is a place and time for the sorrow and another for strengthening and lifting up when our legs are ready to give in....i hope this might help you in some way....
-------------------------------

Remember, how a person dies and the circumstances surrounding their passing are a distraction to the Reality of the Bliss they are experiencing at this present moment.  The shell is gone but the soul is finally free and sees God Face to face.  Nothing and no one, even if we put all the best life has to offer together it will not come close to this Ecstasy our believing loved one is experiencing right now. Well up in you The Great Faith you have and Divine Courage  to read a Word of Truth and Hope from the Bible.  Your loved one will be with you always.  In God's Time and in His Perfect Way God will gather an care for all those left behind who are suffering.  He makes Beauty from ashes and the one who walked with Jesus here on earth, now walks literally with Him There.  The deceased will be everyones intercessor before the Throne of The Almighty.  Elevate and Fly Higher.  Be daring to believe the Miraculous!!!  Our God will carry you.

until next time....read Cor 2:9

"What eye has not seen, and ear has not heard,

and what has not entered the human heart,

what God has prepared for those who love him"

Hebrew 12:12-13

So strengthen your drooping hands and your weak knees.
Make straight paths for your feet, that what is lame may not be dislocated but healed.
