Condolences & Tributes
Add A CondolenceI’m so sorry for your loss. Even Jesus wept at the loss of a loved one. Please remember the scriptural promises at Acts 24:15 and Rev 21:3, 4 and draw comfort. Isaiah 55:11.
To the family of Willie Johnson, so sorry for your loss. May God comfort the family and wipe all tears from your eyes during this time of sorrow. Revelation 21:3,4
My condolences to the Williams family and friends. It is a painful thing to lose a precious love one in death, regardless of how long they have lived. Even Jesus wept when Lazarus died (John 11:35) and it pains our loving Heavenly Father, too. He did not purpose his human family to grow old and die but purpose us to live and enjoy life. It is still his purpose (Psalms 37:11, 29). He calls death an enemy that will be removed forever (1 Corinthians 15:26; Isaiah 25:8). He promised to awaken our love ones in the memorial tombs from asleep in death__ Hosea 13:14 “From the power of the Grave I will redeem them; from death I will recover them.” He promised to reverse the aging process__ Job 33:24,25 “Let his flesh become fresher than in youth; Let him return to the days of his youthful vigor.” What a delight it will be to see them again to enjoy life as our Creator purposed (Psalms 145:16)! Allow these words to keep comforting all of you.
