There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot Ecc 3:1-2 Everything in this world has a beginning and end. Life on this world is too short. Its like a grass, here today and gone tomorrow just as the Bible says: All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers in the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever (1 Pet 1:24-25) We spend more time in the afterlife than the life of this earth. Prominent people before, when they die, they are forgotten Kings in the past, when they die, they dont remembered. One thing remains Gods word. Troubles may come temporarily. Pain in this world may come, but we should not focus on it. Life still continues. As the Bible says: for our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal - 2 Cor 4:17-18 The Lord is close to the broken hearted: The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Ps 34:18 Gods promise is that one day, He will wipe our tears and will take away the pain that we have suffered on this earth. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, Look! Gods dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. 4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death[b] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away. Rev 21:3-4 Take note: We have invisible enemy who wanted to destroy every human being and this enemy deceives people that all negative circumstances are from God. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full John 10:10
The question lies now. Will you allow God to comfort you? Will you allow Jesus Christ to be your Lord and savior?
