Finding Comfort in Jesus

The beautiful cover in shades of blue lists four topics covered in the booklet. Immediately we are informed that grief doesn’t necessarily mean a death has occurred. Grief can include loss of friends, a job, a home, or a spouse by divorce. There are secondary losses  which interrupt our lives and change our daily routines.  Sprinkled through the 14 page pamphlet are wonderful promises from Jesus to comfort us through the stages of grief.  Finding Comfort in Jesus helps us know that sorrow is normal and scripture illustrate the trials and suffering of Bible characters such as David, Jeremiah, and Naomi. Jesus is our prime example of one who endured grief, betrayal, and suffering.  The story of Job the suffering servant in the Old Testament helps answer the age old question of why God allows this. The biblical character of Joseph is enlisted to help us find meaning in loss. Greater empathy for others, developing healthier priorities, a deeper communion with God, and new and renewed relationships give us a hope and a future. A special page with bible verses explaining Heaven comforts us. To realize God has prepared our final home in our life’s journey and to realize the glorious future and reunion waiting for us on the other side is the reason for our comfort. This PDF file was given to me for my honest review by Rose Publishing.
