Loss



17For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd;
he will lead them to springs of living water.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." Revelation 7:17 NIV.

Our Church is grieving for the loss of a dear, precious brother in Christ. This song was sung by two young people who loved their Uncle George dearly. George loved to preach from the book of Revelation. I will miss his preaching, his passion for the Bible and Jesus, his smile, friendship, and his Godly example of how to be a Christian and live for Jesus - 'Well done, good and faithful servant! ' Matthew 25;21 NIV.

Thank God for hope and His faithfulness to us.

For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11 NIV.

May we all cling to this verse and others like it that remind us of the amazing hope we have in Jesus.

  3. I heard this song this morning and like always it brings tears to my eyes, not tears of sadness but ones of hope. That there is something better coming and one day we will all be there.

  4. Yes, He knows the plans He has for us! And they are awesome plans! I Will Rise, is a very encouraging song...to me, it's what I will do when I'm feeling down, I will rise and focus on Jesus, and know He's got me in His grip. So sorry for your loss.
