Preparation for
passing
I know how
difficult it is for you to see your loved one suffer day after day, and to
watch her strength and very life fade. It's not only difficult to see her in
pain, but you're also faced with the reality that she probably won't be with
you much longer, and it's hard to think about what your future will be like
without her.
Though your loved
one suffers physically, her spirit is being prepared for a new and far better
life in heaven. I am putting My peace within her and bringing her to a fuller
understanding of My will and plan.
This peace and
understanding is there for you too. Ask Me for faith and grace for each day,
each hour, each moment. If you do that, I will give both you and your loved one
all the spiritual resources you need. Though it is difficult, this time of
suffering can also bring about beautiful things in the spirit. You can be
closer to each other and to Me than you ever have been before.
Keep interceding
for your loved one in prayer. Continue to be supportive, reassuring, and do
everything you can to lift her spirits. And do not fear—I am with you both.
New beginning
Your loved one has
not vanished like smoke in the wind. He has merely passed on to a new place, a
new existence.
His love for you is
just as strong as ever. The memories he shared with you are just as fresh in
his mind and remembered even more fondly. The pain you suffered together is
still there too, but now he understands what it was all for, and he accepts it.
Now you must accept
it as well. You must believe that this end of his earthly life was not meant to
be the end for you. He is still living, only in another realm. He is still
fulfilling the purpose for which he was created, and so must you.
When the time comes
for you, too, to pass from the shadows into the light, you will better
understand. Then the love that you had to let go of will be with you once
again. It will be the beginning of a whole new and wonderful life of love that
you will share for all eternity.
In My arms
Though hearts break
and tears flow on earth, in heaven there is rejoicing because this dear child
of Mine is in My arms, perfectly happy and perfectly whole. Here I am able to
hold him close, wipe away his tears, and show him My love. Oh, how great that
love is!
In just a little
while you will be reunited. Until then, hold tightly to My hand and let Me
comfort you. Remember that the one whom you love but see no more is now in a
better place. He is in My presence, where he is free from all pain and problems
and experiences My love without measure.
You cannot possibly
imagine the love and joy and freedom that your loved one now experiences in the
heavenly realm, but I can give you a little foretaste—a little glimpse of
heaven and its wonders. Won't you come into My arms and experience a touch of
that love? Let Me hold you close. Let Me wipe away your tears. Let Me ease your
pain and mend your broken heart. Let Me carry you through this time of
heartbreak and loss. Come, find sweet relief in My arms, just as your loved one
has.
The journey to love
Your loved one
isn't lost to you forever. She has just stepped into a different dimension.
It's as though she's gone on a journey ahead of you, and one day you'll join
her in that new world. It's a beautiful world, full of splendor and happiness,
joy and laughter, peace and plenty—a place where dreams become reality.
I know you're sad
and sorely miss her, but please be happy for her. She's been freed from pain
and found perfect love and perfect peace in Me. Though you'll have to walk the
road of life without her for a time, this time apart will make your reunion in
heaven all the sweeter.
Love doesn't die
when a soul passes from this earth to the realm beyond. Love lives forever.
Love joins hearts and transcends the boundaries that separate your worlds. Her
love is a treasure you'll never lose, and so is Mine. I will comfort your heart
and give you peace until the day you finish your journey and find yourself in
the arms of your loved one once again.
Let the healing
begin
Hers was a
senseless death and not her fault. She was just in the wrong place at the wrong
time. Now she's gone with no warning and no goodbyes. I know the questions you
struggle with now. I know the sorrow you feel, and My heart breaks for you.
I also understand
how you feel that nothing could ever compensate for your loss, yet you long for
retribution; you want justice to be served. That is a natural reaction, but it
won't bring your loved one back. If you seek revenge or harbor resentment, it
will slowly poison your own spirit. As impossible as this may seem, as
unrealistic as this may sound, the best thing you can do at this moment is
forgive from your heart the one responsible. This takes the kind of forgiveness
I was talking about when I told My disciples, "Love your enemies and pray
for those who spitefully use you, that you may be sons of your Father in
heaven."1
Justice will run
its course, if not in this life then in the next, but what I want you to do now
is forgive. Only then will you be freed from the shackles of bitterness and
only then will the emotional healing begin. I will help you if you will try.
1. Matthew 5:44-45
Peace that
surpasses understanding
It's hard to lose
loved ones, I know. Even if you believe that they're safe and secure in heaven,
that they have joined Me, and that I watch over them lovingly, you still feel
the loss. But I want to comfort you. If you will let Me, I can fill that void
with love and perfect peace—peace that transcends your natural reasoning and emotions,
peace that doesn't make sense in the way you usually try to make sense of
things, but is wonderfully real and wonderfully comforting.
The Bible talks
about a "peace that surpasses all understanding."1 This is the kind
of comfort that I can give. Even when you have every reason to sorrow and
despair, I can pour My soothing balm over your spirit. I can pick up the pieces
of your broken heart and put it back together again. You will always love and
miss the one you lost, but you don't need to feel alone or unloved or despair
over your loss. I am here for you.
1. Philippians 4:7
Comfort from the
realm beyond
The only sadness
that could possibly spoil the joy of those who come home to Me is that of
seeing loved ones grieving and finding no comfort. Your beloved wants to reach
out and comfort you now, and he can within certain limits.
He has left the
physical plane, but he is still very much alive in the spiritual one. He is
still himself, he still loves you, he still feels your love, and it is possible
for you to still feel his love too. He still wants to be a part of your
life—not only through your memories, but also through his spiritual presence.
Just as My Spirit is ever present and you can hear My voice from the spiritual
realm, so is the spirit of your loved one alive and so is he able to touch you
from this realm.
Your spirits are
still connected. Those times when you feel him near, when you sense his
presence and can almost hear his voice or think his thoughts, that's because he
is near. I've created a means by which you can remain connected with your loved
one in spirit. He continues to watch over you from the realm beyond.
