I am the last of all my siblings, my name, is Simon Peter Hurst. I’m very thankful to be here, and sad that all my siblings have passed away. I won’t question God on this matter because I know that God loves us all. He gave His only begotten son’s life so we can live.
The Bible tells us that as sure as we are born, that we will die. You see death came from our forefather Adam sinning or disobeying God’s words telling him not to eat from a certain tree in the garden, but he disobeyed and the birth of sin was born and death to all mankind. We inherited Adams sins, so we die. But lets look on a brighter note. I want you to turn your Bible’s with me to Revelation 21 and lets read verses 3 and 4 together. With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Yes family, God is gonna be with His people. God cannot lie! He’s gonna make this earth a paradise, do u believe that? He promises us that death will be no more! No more pain or outcry of a loved one passing away. These former things that exsist now, growing old, getting sick, and dying will pass away, it will be no more. I love this scripture because it helps with our greiving when our loved one passes away.
My sister Myrtle, we called her Myrt, was the Best sister, was the best wife, was the best mother, and the greatest sister a brother could have. Let’s remember her that way. The Bible also mentions there will be a resurrection. God will call us from the grave. Acts 24:15 where Paul talks about there will certainty be a resurrection of the good and bad. So I believe what the Bible says is true, so hopefully, prayfully, we will see Myrt again. But in a better world, a paradise that God will provide. I love you big sister, I will miss you and my brothers, but I’m not alone, I have Jehovah God that’s with me and keeps me and will get me thru the lost of my siblings.
Amen,
Simon Peter Hurst
