The passing of a loved one is never easy, but especially so when it is a young father and husband. I do not know this individual but had to stop a moment and share my sympathy with his loved ones. At times like this, there is much emotion and many questions. The bible calls death an "enemy," (I Corinthians 15:26) and continues that it will soon be "brought to nothing." It was obvious from what I read that this man had conviction to try and improve matters for others by serving his country. The bible promises that soon God's government will permanently remove all human suffering and reunite us with our loved ones. Psalms 37:10,11 describes it this way, "Just a little while longer and the wicked will be no more...but the meek will possess the earth, and they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace." Revelation 21:4 promises, "God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more." In the days ahead, may this reality bring you comfort and hope.
