Mourning

Friday's Devotion (4-1-05)

"Blessed [are] they that mourn: for they shall be comforted." Matthew 5:4 (KJV)

Yesterday the injustice was completed: Terri Schavio passed away. She was murdered by court order. Truly a shameful and sad day for the United States. We here at GLK send our deepest sympathy to all those affected by this tragedy.

You could say that Terri went through a ton of mourning in her life. She suffered, but now she is comforted. Terri had faith in Jesus Christ, and today she is with Him. We've been praying for her healing and we got the answer. We got the answer in a different way than expected. She is healed in Heaven.

We shouldn't mourn her death, because the Bible teaches us that we should celebrate life. She died, but she lives. The family and friends will mourn because they'll miss her. We will mourn in sympathy for her friends and family, we will mourn for the direction our country is headed, we will mourn because of the great injustice. But we will not mourn for where Terri is today. God bless her soul. And to all of us that mourn... we too will be comforted when our time comes.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for this message and for all things. Please forgive us of all our sins and we forgive all those who've wronged us. Please take our country back into the direction you'd have it go. Comfort Terri's family and friends, and comfort us. In Jesus name. A-men!

God bless!
