Knoxville, TN Saturday, June 9, 2018 To the family and friends,I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your loved one.
Job 14:15 says: "You (God)will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning." Yes, God longs to bring our loved ones back to life again! It is not like they will be gone forever. There will be a resurrection as you can read at Acts 24:15.
In the mean time, we can have comfort in taking in knowledge of the Bible, which contains God's future purpose for the earth and people on it. If would like free Bible studies you may ask any one of Jehovah's Witnesses to make arrangements.
