Paul, I’m so sorry for your loss.. You will be in my prayers
Please allow me to offer my condolences to the, McMillin family with these healing words: “[God] will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” Also he says: “Write, for these words are faithful and true.” (Rev. 21:4, 5) What an uplifting prophecy! Pause to savor what the Bible is foretelling. ‘God will wipe out every tear from their eyes.’ That cannot refer to normal tears that wash our sensitive eyes, nor can it refer to tears of joy. No, the tears that God will wipe out are tears caused by suffering, grief, disappointment, hurt, and agony. How can we be sure? Well, this remarkable promise of God links wiping out tears with ‘death, mourning, outcry, and pain being no more.’—John 11:35. I am very sorry for your loss. May God’s Word comfort the, McMillin family and all those who loved her. Sincerely, Meryl ~ healingwordsforu@gmail.com. For more information about God’s Kingdom promises, please visit jw.org.
