Dear James family, you have my deepest sympathy in this stressful time. The pain caused by the death of a loved one seems more than you can bear. However there is hope and it can be found in Gods word the Bible.
2 Corinthians 1:3,4 say “ The God of all comfort, comforts us in all our trial. Not only does He comfort us but he also gives us a hope. Acts24:15 says “There is going to be a resurrection “ is that not wonderful to hear. In the near future you can see your loved ones again.
