My Father’s House

Words of Comfort in the Loss of a Child

Far better. Those are the words Paul used to describe what life is like after death. It is not the end of existence or consciousness. For believers, death is not only the beginning of good things but of better things. “Better” means superior and preferable. Right now, your child is alive and well and enjoying blessings that were prepared in anticipation of their arrival. In Paradise, your child is resting in God’s arms, holding Jesus’ hand, secure inside glory’s gates, sitting at the family table, exploring rooms in the Father’s house, and waiting safely behind the curtain. Each chapter in this book is based on a biblical illustration of God’s amazing love and astounding promises for those who grieve. When you are ready, you can cultivate healing thoughts by using these seven portraits God provided to protect and uplift your heart.
