Michelle I know right now your heart is broken
and you feel that you will not be able to go on.
So I say to you be still and wait on the Lord,
for he is able to provide comfort for you.
It was what David believed in when he said it is time for us
to marry because I want you taken care of.
He loved you very much and never doubt that and you proved his love
over and over again.
So it was with peace that he went into the light quietly and now he is pain free.
I believe that love never ends for if it did there would have been no cross, there would be no salvation for us.
But because in pain and sorrow Christ went to that place on Golgotha we have the promise.
He said he would provide a place for us and that his grace is sufficient and that he would return again for us.
David went ahead and by now I am sure that he has already given the thumbs up.
So peace be still and wait on the Lord Michelle,
he is able and more than that he is willing.
Author notes
A member of my church PPR, which stands for Pastor, Parsonage Relations died yesterday while awaiting a liver transplant. Things went downhill because there was too much wrong. David Seay married his wife a month ago, she is the Michelle. So I wrote this partly because I want her to have this as a comfort to her.

Pretty good
I enjoyed your thoughts, and your comfort in this piece. I don't agree with "his condition made it impossible", with God, all things are possible. Sometimes, though we furvently pray for healing, I think when we have a heanvenly-perspective (not a worldly-perspective) and we know Jesus, then death is our healing. Here we think God did not answer our prayer, there we would rejoice in God's answer. My prayers to Michelle for comfort in knowing that God has a plan for her. God bless - Kevin
