Grief therapy the BIBLE way

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Matthew 11:28-30

King James Version

28 Come unto me, 

all ye that labour and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, 

and learn of me; 

for I am meek and lowly in heart: 

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, 

and my burden is light.

What started as a tool for my own self-healing, through the HOLY SPIRIT, has found renewed purpose.

This blog will serve many people, in the days to come.

All we who grieve, who miss, who mourn, who rage, who ask questions, who demand answers, can now find answers.

And it's ALWAYS been through JESUS.

PEACE has ALWAYS been THROUGH Jesus.

The past days, I have been watching the news about the tragedy in Texas, involving an elementary school.

A few grieving parents mustered enough courage to talk about their kids.

Some mothers from other states, who experienced the same suffering, offered their help, too.

The country and state officials gave their piece, as well.

But what really stood out among ALL the interviews was this grieving great-grandfather.

Right away, he called upon people to have FAITH and TRUST in GOD.

That was EXACTLY what I waited to hear.

That someone would stand up for GOD.

Reminding us that our times are in His hands.

We may not understand the reason for everything.

But through the GRACE of GOD, we would begin to.

And JESUS would give us strength to keep going.

For seven months now, I've been at it, too.

Making sense of my own loss.

But the Bible comforted me with:

2 Corinthians 5:8

King James Version

8 We are confident, 

I say, 

and willing rather to be absent from the body, 

and to be present with the Lord.

Only through JESUS can we keep going.

The smile may be gone, the grieving may take forever, but we must keep on.

I've created this blog, so I may keep going, knowing I shall see all my loved ones again.

It's toughest on us left behind.

But there's one time we will not want to be left behind.

JESUS will have His FAITHFUL meet Him up in the air.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

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.

GOD will secure His faithful on that day.

I think to myself, my baby sister has already been secured by GOD.

For there will be more things to come.

For which, we must prepare, by believing in JESUS.

And by being born again.

John 3:3

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

Being born again has been the most wonderful thing that ever happened to me.

Only through GOD's SPIRIT can we begin to understand.

He helped me understand the WAYS of GOD.

SPIRIT and SCRIPTURE, guide me in EVERYTHING.

It's how we can make sense of things.

But take comfort, my dear readers.

One day, there will be an end to all our tears.

It's been prophesied in the end times:

Revelation 21:4

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

Don't you look forward to that?

JESUS can return any moment GOD chooses.

It could be now, as I write this.

It could be ANY moment.

Their earthly bodies may be gone, but the spirits of our loved ones, are now with the LORD.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

For us remaining, it's all preparation now.

GIFTS from JESUS

 

John 8:12

King James Version

12 Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, 

I am the light of the world: 

he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, 

but shall have the light of life.

The LORD is merciful.

He gave me the gift of dreams.

Wherein I saw things that would happen.

Before I became born again, I relied upon dream interpretation from Jung-inspired books.

When GOD made me born again, I began relying on Scripture alone.

Let me share with you THREE significant dreams of life, death, and destiny.

Two magnificent dreams were about JESUS.

One on the HOLY SPIRIT.

These happened before GOD made me born again.

One dream showed JESUS looking at me, standing in place of a tabernacle.

It was a church I loved in the big city.

His hands, palms toward me, were lifted slightly by His sides.

He was looking at me steadily, not saying a word.

The SECOND dream showed I was in an old, dilapidated house.

I was to go up the precarious steps to the second floor.

A large white dove was outlined on the wall.

At the topmost landing was a doorway, filled with blazing GOLDEN light.

I was to go up to it.

In the THIRD dream, I was looking for a place to stay.

I was looking for a "home".

The "landlord" met me at the doorway.

We passed a young girl typing in a corner.

He then led me to the long aisle, as if in a theater.

I saw many people looking at a blank screen.

Towards the exit was a ramp, and JESUS was there!

Framed against a GOLDEN light bursting from a doorway.

He was waiting for me.

There was no door.

Just that unforgettable light.

And JESUS, my "landlord".

Who had a HOME for me.

Two dreams were of that doorway, filled with GOLDEN light.

I knew that was my destination.

But first, I had to go through life.

And it wasn't going to be easy.

I, too, was shown that.

From many other dreams, and reality itself.

Thus, the precarious steps, and the people who I passed by.

The image above closely depicts that GOLDEN light.

A white dove signifies the HOLY SPIRIT.

JESUS knew I actively sought Him in my heart, despite my many pitfalls.

Those dreams were gifts, for I kept going, searching for TRUTH.

But more gifts came.

On 14 January 2020, JESUS alerted me to the RAPTURE.

Twenty-one months after going deep into that, my beloved baby sis joined JESUS.

In the midst of grief, trying to understand death, SPIRIT guided me to create this blog you're reading now.

It was the only way I could have gotten through that period.

To write, and write, and write.

Two days ago, JESUS made me pay closer attention to His RESURRECTION.

All these are GIFTS from JESUS.

Whoever wishes to know more about life, death, and the Resurrection, please pay attention.

The LORD is telling us something.

For the day is at hand.

Mark 1:15

King James Version

15 And saying, 

The time is fulfilled, 

and the kingdom of God is at hand: 

repent ye, 

and believe the gospel.

ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS

 

Romans 8:37

King James Version

37 Nay, in all these things 

we are more than conquerors 

through him that loved us.

It's been over seven months now, since the passing on of my beloved sister.

I come back here to revisit this blog.

It's been six months since we first wrote the first five articles.

Now, I'm ready to continue where SPIRIT and I left off.

So, we fix the blog, making it more joyful for CHRIST.

After all, JESUS is LIFE.

He gave me the strength to keep going.

Making me busy with His WORD.

Creating blogs and posts for you.

Sharing each and every day with you.

Keeping me busy with work and family.

Every time I miss my baby sis, I think of what comforted me the first time.

Matthew 5:8

King James Version

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: 

for they shall see God.

She's DEFINITELY that.

PURE in HEART.

And when it gets really tough, I think of another.

2 Corinthians 5:8

King James Version

8 We are confident, 

I say, 

and willing rather to be absent from the body, 

and to be present with the Lord.

Excited to see her again, Scripture feeds me more.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

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.

You see, the WORD of GOD gives me the peace, love, joy, and comfort I need.

Being born again is the most beautiful thing that ever happened to me.

Apart from GOD trusting me to care for my sister all her life.

Plus, of course, so many other blessings I thank GOD for each day.

Death reminds us of our mortality.

How our lives are but vapor.

James 4:14

King James Version

14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.

Speaking of which, in the morning sunlight, I did see a vapor following my mom, as she went back into the house.

Days after baby sis went to JESUS.

The LORD knows how to comfort grieving souls.

Psalm 147:3

King James Version

3 He healeth the broken in heart, 

and bindeth up their wounds.

And all I could think of now is how excited I am to be part of the RAPTURE.

How excited I am to see JESUS, and my baby sister.

And all who have gone on ahead of me.

And one day, there will be no more death.

And no more tears.

Revelation 21:4

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

Only ETERNAL LIFE with JESUS.

John 11:26

King James Version

26 And whosoever liveth 

and believeth in me 

shall never die. 

Believest thou this?
