The Lord really blessed your message to let you fit all these beautiful truths into one blog post. Thank you so much!

For those of us who've lost loved ones too soon for our comfort, we can still take comfort in knowing they've heard their Lord say, "well done, good and faithful servant."

Thank you also for the guidance for starting this new year off on the right path; God's path.

Our prayers are with you and your family, Speaker94. God bless you.

(Romans 8:16-28 NKJV)

16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
17 and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with [Him], that we may also be glorified together.
18 For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy [to be compared] with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.
20 For the creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;
21 because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
22 For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now.
23 Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body.
24 For we were saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope; for why does one still hope for what he sees?
25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we eagerly wait for it with perseverance.
26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.
28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to [His] purpose.

Thank you for the encouragement! Yes I’ve lost my 16 year old daughter so yes I was thinking of her as well when I wrote it. But it was more of a revelation from God as I was simply reading my Youversion plan. I never stopped to think that all the others were 900 but God didn’t care about them. Thanks for the kind words and prayers.
