Question

Accepted Answer

A short verse in a card can carry more comfort than a long letter. These passages are gentle, hopeful and easy to write by hand. Psalm 34:18: “The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.” Matthew 5:4: “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” 2 Corinthians 1:3-4: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any affliction, through the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.” Revelation 21:4: “He will wipe away every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain any more. The first things have passed away.”” Psalm 147:3: “He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.” John 14:27: “Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don’t let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.” Isaiah 41:10: “Don’t you be afraid, for I am with you. Don’t be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.” Romans 8:28: “We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, for those who are called according to his purpose.”
