Search my heart O God, make it ever true. Search my heart O God, May it be like you! Pastor Piper brought us all into the presence of Almighty God. Amen.
It's 2019 and this video was made in 2016, and still shakes me to my core. The Gospel-driven life is not an easy, comfortable one, but a hard one. Sometimes it makes me even fearful to adopt that lifestyle for all that it is. But it's times like these in where my faith is tested and I have to tell myself that God is good all the time. And the reward that awaits me and that came to the lives of those 5 family members, is so much greater than the fleeting pleasures this world offers. My prayers are still towards the family and friends.
I just heard this today. Even though it is three years removed from the tragedy, I too will add my prayer to all who are praying for those left behind. Experience has taught me that they'll need our prayers always, as the pain never goes away. It'll be thirty years come July and I still grieve for my 22 yrs. old brother and sister and five first cousins who all died in the same year.
Thank you so much for this share... I've really been thinking a lot about death of late; about how we can be celebrating another year being added to a person's life on one hand, while comforting a bereaved family on the other. I resolved it in my heart by looking upon the Biblical truth Paul shares with the believers of Thessalonica; that they oughtn't 'mourn like unbelievers' because the same way we believe Christ died and rose again, so do we believe that God will bring back with Jesus those who died in Him. May the Lord grant comfort to the families of the bereaved, together with all those Piper has prayed for.

Amen.. Praise the Lord! I'm hearing it now for the first time... absolutely gutted, and yet overwhelmed by the love of God and His sovereignty.

Praise God for all His ways! May the Blessed Lord grant much comfort to the families.
Amen.
