death

Many years ago,
at the funeral of my best friend’s sister,
who died of cancer at the age of sixteen,
my grandma slipped me a little piece of paper.
On it she had written Psalm 116:15.
I’ll never forget that verse,
or the peace it brought that day.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.

hope

Hold onto hope.

Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. 
1 Thessalonians 4:13 NIV

rapture

We will meet again–
in the most amazing way!

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 ESV

confidence

Confidence is contagious, unfortunately, so is fear.
Let’s spread confidence.

Is there any man who is fearful and fainthearted? Let him go back to his house, lest he make the heart of his fellows melt like his own.
Deuteronomy 20:8 ESV

eternal life

Jesus is our only and greatest hope.

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?” John 11:25-26 ESV
