In dark circumstances, God's light is still shining in our hearts. GOD is with us in the storm and cradles us through the storm. GOD is nearer to us than we think. May GOD bless you doing your time of sorrow.

For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel ad with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
