What Scripture says
Psalm 139:13-16
“For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well. My frame wasn’t hidden from you, when I was made in secret, woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my body. In your book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there were none of them.”
Psalm 34:18
“The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.”
2 Samuel 12:23
“But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me.””
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.””
