My deepest sympathies to the Minalgo family. Seeing the picture of your beautiful young boy grieves me. I hope you will find comfort in the scriptures knowing that your lovely child is very safe now in God's memory, even though it was not God's will that his life be taken. Perhaps it will comfort you to know that even though his life right now has been temporarily ended, he will be among those who will be resurrected, for Jesus Christ did not die in vain, nor was he giving us false hopes when he said at John 5:28: "All those in memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out." One day soon you will have the hope of not only seeing Joel again but hugging and kissing him, embracing him. This resurrection will be for the billions who have died to live in a beautiful Paradise right here on this earth, when all wickedness and suffering will have been removed. (Psalms 37:9-11) In the bible, Jehovah God also tells us that he is going to "swallow up death forever."(Isaiah 25:8) This truly indicates that death was never intended for mankind in the first place-but it was life that God wanted us to have. Know that God does not take the ones we love away from us, because "God is love," and He wouldn't cause us such pain. (1 John 4:8) God is going to get you through this difficult time, and know that He will heal your grieving hearts. (Psalm 147:3) My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time.
