There are a lot of incidents that can make us sad in the present. However, we must stand firm in our faith. Unexpected child loss can happen in our family, but we should rely on God to get through the agony.
If we follow God’s instructions, we will know the truth and have a heart that will enable us to endure any trials and tribulations that may come our way.
We must follow the command in the Bible to love God with all of our hearts. But if we love our family members too much, we will undoubtedly experience anguish when they depart.
The Lord says our children are not ours but he is their father. So must have that kind of mindset in order to overcome pain. The story of David encourages us to know the truth about Chid’s death and we can follow him in order to overcome difficult times that come in our lives.
