Psalm 91 - some verses that spoke to me with regards to the many deaths and circumstances surrounding these times.

"He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the LORD,
"He is my refuge and my fortress.,
my God, in whom I trust." verses:1-2

"If you make the Most High your dwelling-
even the LORD, who is my refuge-
then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.

"Because he loves me"says the LORD,
"I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he
acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and i will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."- 14-16

I realize that i have so much to understand than i cannot begin to comprehend but i want to have faith and i want to trust in him.

*I hope His word reaches out to you and comforts you. *

My Singaporean friend died after she gave birth to a child 2 days ago. We do not know all the details.

I was shocked when my sister called me at 12am telling me the news. I know her from church. I know her family and her kid.

She was young, happy and very friendly to everyone around her and just like that she is gone from this world.

We cannot experience how it feels to lose a loved one unless we have lost one ourselves.

Sometimes we feel like a piece of us dies with them, we feel like the world has halted for this moment in time and we are frozen unaware of all around us.

But then we move, time still moves, we have to, to survive.

I told a friend that i need religion in my life, and i know that He is real. He is greater than me, greater than all of this.

And when there is none who understands, God does. When you can on longer cry out to anyone, God listens.

I believe that Jesus is my Shepherd. When i am lost He will come looking for me.

And so when i do not know how to comfort my friend i turn to Him and ask Him what can you do in my life so that it is one that shows your glory. That even in death,  my life would have been one that God can say " This is my Daughter whom I love; with her I am pleased."

If death happens and it does what can we do?

We can mourn, we can cry.

We can also hope and believe in the grace and faith that God has given us.

So live your life before He calls. Live gloriously with joy and thanksgiving.

" And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:20b 

Jesus promises. And i believe
