An elderly woman in the church I was attending lost her husband after many years of marriage. I asked The Lord for words that would somehow comfort her -

There are seasons of sorrow that can’t be denied When tears of griefWe just cannot hide Like losing a loved one The pain is so much Really, all that can helpIs The Lord’s touch
But in your trial here’s a Truth I can share, To comfort your heart, to show that I care For if that loved one was Born-again Then they’re much better off with The Lord now, my friend So remember this in the midst of your pain – Your loss is The Lord’s gain.
Ecc:3:1-8




The Lord gave me a picture of the loved one leaving her arms on earth then being embraced by the Lord in Heaven. He told me, we lose our loved one for a moment, a blink of an eye, while He gains them forever.
