“And he said: “The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer; The God of my strength, in whom I will trust; My shield and the horn of my salvation, My stronghold and my refuge; My Savior, You save me from violence. I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; So shall I be saved from my enemies.”‭‭II Samuel‬ ‭22:2-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

You were right there! I mean you were literally right in the midst of it. One wrong move or turn and it could’ve gone the other way. 

• You could’ve had a memorial. 
• You could’ve been a foundation. 
• You could’ve been a cause. 
• You could’ve been a “Gofund Me.”
• You could’ve been a poem. 
• You could’ve been a remembrance. 
• You could’ve been a memory. 
• You could’ve been a recollection. 

We empathize with those who have lost a loved one; but for you, Jesus said: 

“YOU SHALL LIVE and NOT die.” 

That IS a promise. For this reason alone, we should be willing to do and give everything Jesus asks of us…willingly. 
“I will not die; instead, I will live to tell what the LORD has done.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭118:17‬ ‭NLT‬‬
