"Then they all wept freely, and fell on Paul's neck and kissed him, sorrowing most of all for the words which he spoke, that they would see his face no more."
Acts 20:37-38
The sorrow of separation, whether by death or other reasons, is natural because there is a hole left in a person's heart. It is even greater if we believe that the separation will be permanent. The Christian does not sorrow as the unbeliever does (I Thessalonians 4:13), because of the faith that this separation is not the end of the story . We will be together again as we "meet at Jesus' feet" – as the old song goes.
Today's Thought: Sorrow caused by death or earthly separation is lessened by the knowledge that we shall meet again.
Have a believing day. Love you.
