Tragedy stuck...
Friends of my website; I have been away from my book's website mostly due to my daughter's tragic, accidental death almost 2 years ago. The pain and depression has been great these many months.
I have asked myself so many times, "Why God, Why? Did I not serve you for so many yrs- most of my whole life? Why did you allow my daughter to die?!!"
The answer, if there really is one, seems to be that it is truly all in His Plans.
I have heard from my daughter in heaven. Don't be alarmed. Did not Jesus talk with Moses and Elijah- those who were "dead"? Yet they were truly Alive in heaven. The same is true of my daughter and the Saints in Heaven. They are alive and ready to help us at any time. They often carry out the "errands" of our prayers. They create things in Heaven that affect us here on earth. They watch over those they knew and loved here on earth. Their Purpose in God continues in Heaven.
The scripture, for Christians to not talk to the "dead", I believe, is about those in hell, because those in Heaven are truly alive and want to help us here on earth. I would not want to talk with the dead in Hell!
I can truly relate, much more now, to those who have had great loss. It is so hard to understand and to remember that God still loves us immensely.
But there is still evil in the world, and sometimes the evil forces gain an area of this earth or a person's life. That's why our prayers are so important.
But even if evil has had it's way in our lives, God is still on the Throne and promises that "all things work together for good to those who love the Lord" (Romans 8:28).
I so sympathize with any of you with great losses. But don't lose heart or lose your Faith. God is truly All that we have going for us!! Don't throw out the baby with the bath water!
God's love and blessings to all of you!! -Faith M. Garden
