One of the most healing gifts we can have in our grief journey is supportive community.
And the Lord God said, “It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him.”
Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
As love and joy are best experienced in community so too are love and sorrow.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Love and joy as well as love and sorrow are best experienced in supportive community.
Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep.
Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
Now when the thousand years have expired, Satan will be released from his prison and will go out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together to battle, whose number is as the sand of the sea. They went up on the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city. And fire came down from God out of heaven and devoured them.
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.”
