Comfort in the Lord

He will swallow up death for ever.  Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces.  Isaiah 25:8a

These are comforting words from Isaiah for those who have lost a loved one.  Today is called All Souls Day and is set aside to remember all those who have died.  All those we love but see not more.  We remember them and raise them up to the Lord, asking a blessing on each and every one of them - today and always. God loved us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to be our advocate and the sacrifice for all.  Jesus Christ died that all might be saved.  We can take comfort in knowing that God cares for each and every one of us as we are his creation, made in his image.
