John 16:22- “Now is your time of grief, but I will see you again and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.”
It has been just over a year that our twin great-granddaughters were born. They were premature and suffered birth defects. They went home to be with Jesus before we saw them.
This was a difficult time for everyone, as you can imagine.
It reminds me that “God gives and God takes away.”
When tragedies happen, it’s only human to focus on our losses.
It’s difficult to see that God’s tenderness and mercy are shown as he takes these little ones to himself—to a better place where He protects them from a future filled with pain and struggles—and welcomes them to life in Heaven where He makes them perfect and whole.
I envision our great granddaughters running, playing, smiling, and giggling . . . things they would have only dreamed of on earth.
I’m thankful for a God who holds every life precious and whose love knows no boundaries . . . whose His compassion never ends.
