Dear Ambedkar:
I feel your pain for the loss of your beloved sister. May her soul rest in peace.
I surely know the havoc of pain from the loss of loved ones, including but not limited to my Better Half at the prime of his life with our ‘perfect 10′ children together.
But, like you, I, too, trust that I will definitely meet him in Heaven.
Meanwhile, I am aware of “Yet you do not know what life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away” (James 4:14).
I, therefore, treasure my every breath of life given me by our Almighty God, “since He Himself gives to all life and breath and all things;…that they should seek God… He is not far from each one of us; for in Him we live and move and exist….” (Act 17:25; 27-28).
We can, therefore, be comforted with His Blessed Assurance that: “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life” (John 5:24).
Further, “But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve, as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus” (1 Thessalonians 4:13-14).
Thank you.
May GOD ALL MIGHTY Bless you and keep you; make His Face shine upon you, and give you peace, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
