A very dark day.
My Brother in Law Pedro Taganahan, we called him with endearment "Juan" or "Pete", a very gentle man, a loving husband to his wife Tessie and devoted father to his daughter Maimai and grandfather to Theona, was taken early accidentally.
This is overwhelmingly tragic to fathom. Yes, this is beyond us. When life is interrupted and stolen. But, thanks be to God we have a Heavenly Father who takes care and carry what we can't. Our minds maybe confused and our hearts may be troubled. But, by His grace in Christ Jesus our Lord, He is our refuge to run to for comfort. He makes our heavy load light. In the turmoil that our hearts bear, His grace is sufficient. In our most vulnerable and weakest moments, His word promised these -
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11:28 NIV)
"And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness..”(2 Corinthians 12:9a KJV)
In the midst of intense sadness, His peace guards us. We have this assurance- “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:7 NIV)
Tess, Mai, Tobert and Theona, please know, we love you. Jesus loves you. There's nothing the enemy can do to rob us that. It is written: “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 8:35-39 KJV)
We declare all these in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, AMEN!
