As a pastor I see many things that are hard to understand. Many times I stand in this type of a situation and I have as many questions as the family.
This is one of those situations.
Song:
There are few words of comfort...
Things that have been mentioned - innocents, sin less state, purity
I have few words outside the Word
The only thing I can do is live the advice that I give to family and friends.
Message to Friends and Family:
Look to Jesus
As a pastor I see many things that are hard to understand. Many times I stand in this type of a situation and I have as many questions as the family.

Look to Jesus
When Jesus walked this earth, he would speak several times about his love for children...
There were several times that his desiples thought that it would have been better if he would have been doing some important thing but they would find Jesus talking with the children...
They would find him sitting under a shade tree somewhere with kids on his lap...
They would find him protecting the most innocent people in the world; children.
As one point Jesus said that if you harm a child, that he would have no mercy on you!
Jesus would say that unless you become as a child, you cannot go to heaven!
A child comes into this world sweet and innocent.
Our greatest thoughts as perants is to see that the child grows into a good person who loves God and serves him.
But what do we do when God does not allow us to have the time that we want?
What if we are only given a few short weeks?
When Jesus walked this earth, he would speak several times about his love for children...
16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.
17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.
18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?
19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.
20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.
21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?
23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.
There were several times that his desiples thought that it would have been better if he would have been doing some important thing but they would find Jesus talking with the children...
They would find him sitting under a shade tree somewhere with kids on his lap...
What did David Do?
He prayed for healing because God is a God of Grace
Trusted the process
I connot bring the child back to life BUT I will go to him when I die
HE TRUSTED THE PROCESS
What do you do with the hole in your heart?
Allow God to fill it.

1 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: He leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

Final Reading
What was the process?
While he could not bring back to life, he understood that he would go to him one day - HEAVEN
13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
What do you do with the hole in your heart?
Trust your friends and familyIn dark days when you have questions that cannot be answeredTrust your church familyStrength that comes from those filled with the Holy SpiritAllow God to fill it. Peace that passes all understanding
