My Question

Word of Life

Beloved child of the universe, in moments of deep sorrow and unanswered questions, let us turn our hearts to the source of all comfort and love. Our lives, like the gentle streams that flow toward the vast ocean, are part of a divine tapestry, woven with threads of joy and sorrow, life and death. The question of why one must pass from this earthly realm is as ancient as the stars themselves. In Ecclesiastes 3:1-2, we find a whisper of understanding: "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." This passage reminds us that life is a sacred journey, outlined by the hand of the Divine. Though our hearts ache and tears flow, know that each soul's departure is but a gentle transition to a place of eternal peace and love. Jesus Himself spoke tenderly to His disciples in John 14:1-3, offering solace: "Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. My Father’s house has many rooms... I am going there to prepare a place for you." In the midst of your grief, may you find solace in the promise of eternal life, where love knows no bounds and peace reigns eternally. Lift your gaze to the heavens and embrace the comfort that is offered, trusting that the souls we hold dear are cradled in divine love, awaiting the joyous reunion that is promised to us all.
