TRUSTING GOD AMID "UNHAPPY"

PARABLE:
1 of saddest things about getting older is NOT getting closer to Graduation Day AKA death> Life with God--
a celebration that, thankfully,
He has delayed 5 specific times for me since 2014.
No: It's that over Time there are more & more "I was happy YESTERDAY" thoughts after a Bad Happening.
Yesterday I learned that 1 of the few people I call a dear friend was put in a hospital-induced coma in hopes of saving her after a driver couldn't bother to watch out for a bicyclist... Please say a prayer for Elizabeth, a dedicated fellow Musician & servant of God for many years leading 1 of His churches in Worship.
SO WHAT ??
We each can trust 1st Corinthians 15
IS God's Comfort Promise of Joy for EVERY
"Tomorrow, whatever happens" when we've loved Him.
Why? Because He's loved us since BEFORE we loved Him!
What does LORD God say ??
First John 4:19 about God. "We love Him because He first loved us."
First Corinthians 15:
51 Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— 52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 54 So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”
Prayer:
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, have loved us so much, so long.
Help me to trust You. In everything. Even when I am very very sad....

....57 But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 Therefore,
my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the
work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.
LORD it is SO amazing that You, the LORD of All, have loved us so much, so long.
Help me to trust You. In everything. Even when I am very very sad....
