A message to Mrs. & Mr. John Kunnathu
Dear Mr. John and Lizzy,
Heartfelt condolences. Only today I came to know about the untimely
and unexpected passing away of your one and only son, Vineeth. I
really do not know how to console you.
Death of our loved ones is always a difficult reality to accept, but
our Christian faith gives us strength to bear such losses and to
accept the truth. You very well know that the one who has given us
life has the full authority to take it back too. Believe that these
tests and problems are to make us mentally more strong. He will make
us to go through these trials, but He will not make us suffer. As you
know life is a strict and tough teacher and the difference is, teacher
teaches a lesson first and takes the exam, but life takes the exam
first and teaches the lesson.
Just quoting some of the Bible verses which you might have read
several times before, but will find it different when you read it this
time.
"I have summoned you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the
waters, I will be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, they
will not sweep over you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of
Israel, your Savior." Isaiah 43:2
"Fear not I am with you, be not dismayed for I am your God, for I will
strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you". Isaiah 41: 10
"For I, the Lord your God, hold your right hand it is I who say to
you, :Fear not I will help you" Isaiah 4: 13
Praying that let Vineeth's soul find rest in the bosom of Abraham,
Issac and Jacob. Also praying to grant you strength to bear this
unexpected loss.
With heartfelt condolences and sincere prayers,
Mrs. Sabu George,Mumbai
