It’s not forever that loved ones will be gone.

   Death is a sad parting, even for Christians. It’s a sad parting for those of us who are left behind, & in a way it’s even sad for those who go on, to have to leave us behind for a little while. But thank God, our sorrow is not as those who have no hope, for we know we’re going to be REUNITED again soon! We may have to be apart for a little while, away from each other a little, but we’ll appreciate each other even more than ever when we’re joined together again, when we’re reunited again in that great wonderful marvellous reunion in Heaven!–What a day of rejoicing that will be!

   “Death doth hide, but not divide! Thou art but on Christ’s other side. Thou art with Christ, & Christ with me, in Him united still are we!”–Our dear ones are with the LORD, & if we keep near to HIM, we cannot be far from THEM!

 

               

               “Does Jesus care when I’ve said good-bye,

                To the dearest on Earth to me?

                When my sad heart aches, till it nearly breaks,

                Is it aught to Him?             

                Does He see?

 

                Oh, yes, He cares, I know He cares,

                His heart is touched with my grief;

                Though the days be weary, the long nights dreary,

                I know my Saviour cares!”

   –And He will reunite us SOON!

我们爱的人并不会永远离开。

   死亡是一次悲伤的离别,即便对于基督徒来说。对我们这些仍然留在世上的人来说,死亡是一次悲伤的离别;而在某种程度上,对于那些离世的人来说,甚至也是悲伤的,因为他们必须把我们留在后头一会儿。但是感谢上帝,我们的悲伤,并不象那些无望的人所感受的,因为我们知道我们不久将会再次团聚!我们大家或许必须离别一会儿、分开一会儿,但是当我们重聚时,我们将会比从前更加珍惜赞赏对方。我们将会在天堂中那个美妙、令人惊叹的大团圆中团聚!那将会是多么令人欢喜的一天!

   “死亡会隐藏,但不能分隔!你只是在基督的另一边而已。你与基督同在,而基督也与我同在,在他里面我俩仍是团结一体的!”我们心爱的人正与上主在一起,只要我们与他保持亲近,我们就不会离他们很远!

   “当我对这世上我最心爱的人说再见时,耶稣会关心吗?当我哀伤的心作痛,直到它近乎破碎时,他会关心吗?他看见了吗?啊!是的,他关心,我知道他关心,他的心因我的哀伤也难过;虽然白昼疲倦,长夜阴郁悲哀,我知道我的救主关心!”他不久将使我们再度团聚!
