Recently I came across a beautiful necklace on social media. It described in three sentences what it is like when we lose a loved one. “My mind still talks to you, my heart still looks for you, but my soul knows you are at peace.” It took me awhile to wrap my mind around why our hearts would still look for our loved ones, and thankfully I have some amazing Christian women around me that didn’t tell me why but unknowingly had me seek the answers. As believers we understand this isn’t the end. God put heaven in our hearts, that eternal reality that we WILL see our beloveds again. We can’t help but look for what we know is coming. We can’t help but anticipate seeing them again. Can you imagine if our hearts were set on “this is all there is” and we just moved on as if nothing mattered anymore…what a sad, lonely, existence.
There will be a new heaven and a new earth where we will dwell with God and our loved ones. We can in our hearts look for them with the Hope and anticipation that is promised. ❤️❤️❤️
“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father’s house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am” (John 14:1-3).
The Bible sometimes compares heaven to a mansion with many rooms (John 14:1-3) and sometimes to an enormous city teeming with people (Revelation 21).
I hope this brings some comfort to someone missing a loved one. I hope it makes the decision to follow Christ, and have assurance of heaven even more important. I know my mom and my dad would want all their family with them. Don’t wait another moment if you’re not sure. The Bible says we can be sure!!
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life…” (1st John 5:13).
