John 11:25-26
I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?
One of the realities of getting older is saying farewell to loved ones and friends. Many times they are younger than we are. I have learned that none of us can be assured how long we will live; but what about the idea of separation?
If you are anything like me, you are heartsick when a loved one dies or even moves away from your area. In like, many I have been grieved to hear of homes that have been shattered by separation and divorce. I want things to remain!
Death is often thought of as the ultimate separation. For those who do not know the Lord Jesus as their personal Savior, death is just that! But what about those of us who have our name written in the Book of Life. There is an answer!
The answer is that we can see our loved ones again. The assurance the Bible gives us is that those who believe in Jesus will never die. That means when we as believers leave this world, we will be joined together for eternity. There will never be separation. I look forward to that day!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
