During such grievous times, words seem to be of little comfort. Yet our Heavenly Father has the desire and ability to undo the effects of death. At Hosea 13:14, he promises to empty the graves of our loved ones. Our tears of sorrow will be replaced with tears of joy. Until then, may our God & Father comfort and give you peace.
