If it happens, you will learn first-hand the deep grief of King David at the loss of his son Absalom. Fortunately, King David left me hope as well. As David said, my son cannot come back to me but I can go to him. I'm counting on it and that has made the difference. My son was a Christian and so am I. We will reunite.
What hope is there in the world without faith?
I have three grown children. They didn't get to adulthood without the grace of God. I know well what you mean about being in prayer for your children. I agree with you wholeheartedly.
I commend you for your faith in the fact that we shall see our loved ones again, thanks to our Lord's work on the Cross. Your son still lives,in His presence now, and what a day of rejoicing that will be when we are reunited!
Without faith, we would would be the most hopeless of men. Your faith helps you to deal with the pain. And it is not in vain.
God bless you and yours today,my friend.
