No heart breaks alone for God is always near. When a prayer is whispered God is always there to hear. When sorrow's overwhelming, He comforts tenderly. A single tear never falls that he does not see; “Moreover, may our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and gave everlasting comfort and good hope by means of undeserved kindness, comfort your hearts and make you firm in every good deed and word.” 2 Thessalonians 2: 16, 17

And no resident will say: “I am sick…”Isa 33:24. We can be sure of this reality because God has promised as seen from his divine words about the near future; perhaps you or I may see those missing from our lives due to sickness or tragic injury that lead to death. Prayers go out to the surviving family and friends.

Our hearts are overflowing with sadness on hearing of the death of the hot air balloon crash victims. We hope that some comfort is found in knowing that your loved ones are no longer suffering but are in a deep sleep awaiting a time when mourning, outcry, and death will be things of the past. Until then, cherish the good times, the fond memories, knowing that their life stories are indelibly stored in God's memory and that they are precious in His eyes.
