During your time of grief, you can take comfort in the Bible. God cannot lie. The Bible plainly states It is impossible for God to lie. (Heb 6 18) When Jehovah promises to do something, it is as good as done! (Isa. 55 10) What a comfort to know that through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. ( John 316) We will be able to see our loved once again.
