Jonathan Arlow Manuel

I am genuinely sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine the depth of your grief; however, I believe God can. I hope that in due time you receive his peace that excels all thought, so that it will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus. Rest assured that God is love and he cares for all his creatures; therefore, he would never bring us suffering. God is called the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation. A soothing scripture is Psalm 34:18 which reads: Jehovah is near to those that are broken at heart, and those who are crushed in spirit he saves. Thus, while you await the Paradise where no one will be sick nor die, may you lean on God to cope with your separation from Jonathan. (Psalm 37:29; Isaiah 33:24)
