I want to give my deepest sympathies to the Dickerson family. I am so sorry for your loss. The pain of losing someone we love in death is unlike any other pain felt. However, God promises to 'bind up our painful spots.' (Psalm 147:3) There is a promise from Jehovah God that I'm sure will make your heart glad. It's found in the Bible at Isaiah 25:8a which says, "He[God] will actually swallow up death forever, and the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will certainly wipe the tears from all faces." Imagine a time when death will be only a distant thought, no longer able to be an enemy to us or to the ones we love. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Yes, one day soon "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." ~John 5:28,29. Our loved ones who have died have the hope of the resurrection, where they will be brought back to life to live forever on a Paradise earth, free from harm and suffering. (Psalm 37:9-11) May these scriptures strengthen your heart as you read them along with your family.
