Hello
I was taken aback to see Nyeisha's obituary. Such a bright little girl!
The death of a loved one is never easy, but I cannot imagine the pain of losing one so young.
I am hoping that some thoughts from the Bible will bring you some comfort in this difficult event.
It was never God's purpose that anyone young or old, should die. When he put Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, he set before them the prospect of living forever healthy and happy in paradise. (Genesis 1:28)
Of course, we know that got derailed when Satan induced Adam and Eve to be disobedient.
Our creator has not given up on that purpose - happy eternal life in a paradise home.. Even though Satan, Adam and Eve messed up. (Isaiah 55:10-11)
The Bible tells us that it is Satan who causes death, and not God as some people will tell us. (Hebrews 2:14)
Jehovah God sent his Son Jesus Christ to ransom us from death and to destroy all the works of Satan (1 John 3:8)
Remember Jesus said: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that excercises faith in me will live though he dies." (John 11:25) With Jesus as King of God's Kingdom, resurrection from death and a restoration of the earth to paradise is assured,
Until such time as you will see your smiling bright little one again, it is my hope that these promises from the Bible will bring you some comfort, peace and hope.
