Romans 12:15

Blessed be God, even the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Which comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any affliction by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted by God. For the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolations aboundeth through Christ. And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is wrought in the enduring of the same sufferings, which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. Our hope is steadfast concerning you, in as much as we all know, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation. ~2nd Corinthians 1:3-7


Rejoice with them that rejoice, and weep with them that weep. ~Romans 12:15


On Saturday, May 5th, Josh Eddy-a close friend of people very dear to me-passed away suddenly and unexpectedly.
I never met him, but I feel like I did, hearing the stories of how good he was, and especially how much he loved the Lord.


Josh is in his heavenly dwelling now, the place the Lord has prepared for him, the place that he has longed to go to.

For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle be destroyed, we have a building given by God, that is, a house made not with hands, but eternal in the heavens. For therefore we sigh, desiring to be clothed with our house, which is from heaven. Because that if we be clothed, we shall not be found naked. For indeed, we that are in this tabernacle, sigh and are burdened because we would not be unclothed, but would be clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. 2nd Corinthians 5:1-4.


Mortality has been swallowed up in life. Where, O grave, is now thy sting? For we do not mourn as those who have no hope.

For our hope is in Christ, the one and only son of the true and living God. The Life among the dead. The one to whom Josh is now saying, Holy, Holy, Holy are you, Lord God almighty.
