COMFORT from SPIRIT

 

1 Peter 1:3-4

King James Version

3 Blessed be the God and Father 

of our Lord Jesus Christ, 

which according to his abundant mercy 

hath begotten us again unto a lively hope 

by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, 

and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, 

reserved in heaven for you,

It remains a shock to many, when a loved one passes on.

One day they're here; another day they're gone.

Sometimes, even within the same day, or hour.

Such is the fragility of life.

When you've known even one such death, that alerts you.

There can be no taking granted of people anymore.

You must love them, with all you've got.

You must cherish them, as if each day was your last with each other.

We don't really know who goes first.

Why not just love, as JESUS would have you love?

With no conditions.

As I go through my own grief, I review how I managed through all that.

Especially in the last four years, since 2021.

And I look to how it has been for me.

A born again watchman.

SPIRIT led me to these excerpts -- 

On 18 June 2024, through "COPING with GRIEF":

"It's been 32 months for me now.

How did I cope?

By writing.

Knowing I was shattered, SPIRIT led me to create a blog.

For myself, as well as for everyone going through grief:"

"CONQUERING the LAST enemy"

"SPIRIT also made me create this blog you're reading now.

In quietude, I found my peace.

In JESUS, I found my healing.

In Scripture, I found my clarity.

In GOD, I found my strength.

In SPIRIT, I found my truth."

"Another blog SPIRIT inspired me to create, for comfort is this:"

"Comforting the afflicted"

That's THREE blogs the HOLY SPIRIT inspired me to create:

28 November 2021: "CONQUERING the LAST enemy"

1 December 2021: The GOSPEL on HEALING"

5 May 2023: "Comforting the afflicted"

Where I was able to explore avenues for healing, through GOD's WORD.

We all dearly miss those who have gone ahead of us.

But we shall see them again, during the Rapture.

The "dead in Christ" shall go up first:

1 Thessalonians 4:16-17

King James Version

16 For the Lord himself 

shall descend from heaven 

with a shout, 

with the voice of the archangel, 

and with the trump of God: 

and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain 

shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, 

to meet the Lord in the air: 

and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

That's why it's important we look to JESUS for everything.

To get right with Him now.

John 16:7-8 

King James Version

7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; 

It is expedient for you that I go away: 

for if I go not away, 

the Comforter will not come unto you; 

but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

8 And when he is come, 

he will reprove the world of sin, 

and of righteousness, 

and of judgment:

We need to be born again.

So we, too, can meet JESUS when GOD says it's "time" for believers to be with His Son.

Today is our best day to do so.

Pray to be born again, and all will be made clear.

SPIRIT will teach you everything you need to know.

Your days will be glorious, knowing you're on the right path.

Further, JESUS commanded we be born again.

That we may be "born of the Spirit":

John 3:3-8

King James Version

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born again, 

he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, 

How can a man be born when he is old? 

can he enter the second time 

into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, 

Verily, verily, I say unto thee, 

Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, 

he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; 

and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, 

Ye must be born again.

8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, 

and thou hearest the sound thereof, 

but canst not tell whence it cometh, 

and whither it goeth: 

so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

It's the only way we can understand ways of the SPIRIT.

And ways of the SPIRIT are GOD's ways.

JESUS and medicine

 

JESUS said:

Matthew 11:28-29

King James Version

28 Come unto me, 

all ye that labour and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; 

for I am meek and lowly in heart: 

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

That's EXACTLY how JESUS looked, when He showed Himself the first time in my dream.

His palms were facing me, not raised high up, but gently by His sides.

He merely looked at me, saying nothing.

It was to be another 20 years before I began to understand why He looked upon me that way.

Another dream showed He was like my "landlord", for I was looking for a place to "stay".

He led me to a "U" path, inside a building, where we chanced upon a young girl at her typewriter.

Then the path led to a basketball-court like space below me, where people were transfixed by a large screen, as if in a movie theater.

It's like they were seeing something, but not really anything.

After which, the ramp led up to a light-filled doorway.

I knew my landlord was there, and I was to go there.

After all, He was showing me around, and I was merely to follow.

I turned to head for the ramp.

Those dreams I kept in my heart, for how often does one dream about JESUS?

How often does He show up in our dreams?

The first JESUS dream occurred 27 years ago.

That happened to be the first disturbing dream ever.

This watchman also had a dream about the HOLY SPIRIT.

GOD's SPIRIT has always been represented by a white "dove".

On the wall, by those narrow, cantilevered steps, was an outline of a dove -- the HOLY SPIRIT.

I was to climb up the extremely-narrow, precarious steps (one foot at a time), leading to a doorway filled with light.

I had no idea what those four dreams meant -- until GOD made me born again in 2019 -- and all became clear.

My life has not been the easiest.

So with my family.

And now, we face many challenges -- from within ourselves.

I prayed this morning for JESUS to explain things to me.

And almost immediately, I got this message from SPIRIT, like an imprint upon my mind:

We cannot be healed, 

unless we acknowledge JESUS 

as the REAL POWER.

I had no problem with that.

Most of my family did, as many others do.

There is no medical crisis JESUS cannot heal, or transform.

That's what I whispered to a family member yesterday.

I said, only JESUS is the REAL PHYSICIAN.

And for him to call upon JESUS, for help.

Sadly, the medical profession has given their allegiance to other gods.

Look at the Hippocratic Oath alone:

"I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture."

Apostle Paul encountered this same Greek error:

Acts 17:22-23

King James Version

22 Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, 

and said, Ye men of Athens, 

I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, 

I found an altar with this inscription, 

To The Unknown God. 

Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, 

him declare I unto you.

To correct them, he said:

Acts 17:24-31

King James Version

24 God that made the world and all things therein, 

seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, 

dwelleth not in temples made with hands;

25 Neither is worshipped with men's hands, 

as though he needed any thing, 

seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men 

for to dwell on all the face of the earth, 

and hath determined the times before appointed, 

and the bounds of their habitation;

27 That they should seek the Lord, 

if haply they might feel after him, 

and find him, 

though he be not far from every one of us:

Acts 17:28-31

King James Version

28 For in him we live, and move, 

and have our being; 

as certain also of your own poets have said, 

For we are also his offspring.

29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, 

we ought not to think that the Godhead 

is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, 

graven by art and man's device.

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at; 

but now commandeth all men every where to repent:

31 Because he hath appointed a day, 

in the which he will judge the world in righteousness 

by that man whom he hath ordained; 

whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, 

in that he hath raised him from the dead.

That man whom GOD "hath ordained", and whom He hath "raised from the dead" is JESUS.

There is the very gospel honoring that truth.

Apostle Paul declared it:

1 Corinthians 15:1-4

King James Version

15 Moreover, brethren, 

I declare unto you the gospel 

which I preached unto you, 

which also ye have received, 

and wherein ye stand;

2 By which also ye are saved, 

if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, 

unless ye have believed in vain.

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:

In contrast, the nurses' station at the hospital acknowledges GOD.

That's truly a saving grace, considering Satan lorded it from the lobby, with no one the wiser.

If you want to know what ails you, pray to JESUS.

If you want to be healed, call upon the LORD.

Know the Power JESUS has.

It's something the world can never give you.

For the world belongs to the fallen one.

Satan was known to boast about it.

Matthew 4:8-10

King James Version

8 Again, the devil taketh him up 

into an exceeding high mountain, 

and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, 

and the glory of them;

9 And saith unto him, 

All these things will I give thee, 

if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, 

Get thee hence, Satan: 

for it is written, 

Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, 

and him only shalt thou serve.

People in the world are in a precarious state.

They have believed Satan's lies.

They have worshiped him.

Oftentimes, not realizing they do.

Well, this post will tell you, through Scripture, that the medical profession has fallen under the enemy's spell.

Medicine spawned many corollary industries like pharmaceuticals, insurance, health care organizations, laboratories, research centers.

The focus has been for pain management, prolonging life, even trying to "create" life, when only GOD has power over our lives.

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man 

of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

James 4:12-15

King James Version

12 There is one lawgiver, 

who is able to save and to destroy: 

who art thou that judgest another?

13 Go to now, ye that say, 

To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, 

and continue there a year, 

and buy and sell, and get gain:

14 Whereas ye know not 

what shall be on the morrow. 

For what is your life? 

It is even a vapour, 

that appeareth for a little time, 

and then vanisheth away.

15 For that ye ought to say, 

If the Lord will, we shall live, 

and do this, or that.

1 John 5:14

King James Version

14 And this is the confidence that we have in him, 

that, if we ask any thing according to his will, 

he heareth us:

Sad to say, the whole medical profession is a farce.

They have no idea how they have sinned against GOD.

The most alarming part, is many are not even aware of their idolatry.

People will heal, the moment they look to JESUS.

Without JESUS we can do nothing.

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

Until such time we acknowledge JESUS' light, we live in darkness.

Until such time we acknowledge Him as the ONLY TRUE HEALER -- the GREAT PHYSICIAN -- we can only do disease management.

The diseases remain with us.

Moments of PEACE

Matthew 11:28-30

King James Version

28 Come unto me, 

all ye that labour and are heavy laden, 

and I will give you rest.

29 Take my yoke upon you, 

and learn of me; 

for I am meek and lowly in heart: 

and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

30 For my yoke is easy, 

and my burden is light.

We all need moments of peace.

Of rest.

Of serenity.

Of quiet joy.

Of quiet time alone.

Of not being saddled with the world.

Or of the world's demands.

We all need those quiet moments.

Where we are sure of GOD's love.

Where we are sure to be safe.

Where no one will crash into our peace.

Where no gadgets ring, or blare.

Where no screens flash.

Where no one demands a "like".

Where we can simply close our eyes.

Knowing all is okay.

That the GOOD LORD watches over us.

For He knows we are His.

Sanity requires such quiet moments.

Away from society's norms.

Away from people's demands.

Away from the world's chaos.

Away from the world's noise.

Away from all the lies, and deception.

May you have such a secret place.

Where you can be left alone.

Even for just a moment.

And you can just be you.

With GOD watching over you.

As a Father would, to a child.

With you feeling safe, and secure.

Untouched by the world's evil.

There is such a place, you know.

Let the born again be your guide.

Swim in those safe, warm waters.

Where no sharks hover.

Where no sharp stones can cut you.

Where no depth alarms you.

Where no ambush awaits.

We all long for such a place.

A room.

A state.

A condition.

I'm fortunate to have my own, big room.

Where I can just work with GOD.

Thinking about all of you.

And how I can serve you best.

All according to GOD's will.

And when I think such thoughts, peace comes over me.

Like warm, sea foam.

Like how GOD showed up once.

So many tides ago.

Soothing my tired spirit.

A dream, but it felt so real.

Forever imprinted upon my heart.

In the consciousness of my soul.

In the quietness of my being.

That's how GOD wanted me to remember Him.

"God as Warm Sea Foam"

HEALING for Celine

 Psalm 25:14

King James Version

14 The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; 

and he will shew them his covenant.

I am not a fan of Celine Dion.

As I am not a fan of any man, or woman.

I only WORSHIP GOD.

But something about Celine's health issues called my attention.

So I turn to SPIRIT, and Scripture, for an explanation.

I wanted to know the root cause of her illness, if any.

What are the possible causes of her illness?

Is it genetic, physiological, psychological, or spiritual?

Is it external, or internal?

Would all be involved?

What is her hope for a cure?

Let's take a look.

On December 2022, she disclosed that she suffers from "Stiff-person syndrome".

I've seen her recent video which showed her actually suffering from it.

Today, SPIRIT led me to this particular paragraph on ET online:

"Dion teared up as she announced the cancellation of European tour dates, noting that she was doing everything in her power to be able to perform again."

I love how SPIRIT is so PRECISE.

These KEY words gave Celine's condition away:

"she was doing everything in her power"

It is a common mistake in many of us.

We think we have the power to change our circumstances.

But GOD always CORRECTS us all:

Zechariah 4:6

King James Version

6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, 

This is the word of the Lord 

unto Zerubbabel, saying, 

Not by might, 

nor by power, 

but by my spirit, 

saith the Lord of hosts.

If that doesn't make you tremble, feeling the MAGNIFICENT POWER of GOD's SPIRIT, I don't know what will.

JESUS corrects us all, too:

John 15:5

King James Version

5 I am the vine, 

ye are the branches: 

He that abideth in me, and I in him, 

the same bringeth forth much fruit: 

for without me ye can do nothing.

I love how Scripture zeroes in to what the world tries to deny.

That ONLY THROUGH JESUS can we be healed.

That His SPIRIT does the healing.

That, without Him, we can't do anything.

Very humbling, indeed.

Of course, that would put a lot of industries out of business.

Precisely why they don't want you to know GOD's POWER.

Not only that, but this world is governed by a different god.

Apart from our many "idols" such as face, fame, and fortune.

Same as pride, possessions, and popularity.

The world makes "divas" goddesses.

That's why unbelievers are in GREAT danger.

2 Corinthians 4:4

King James Version

4 In whom the god of this world 

hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, 

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, 

who is the image of God, 

should shine unto them.

Another indication was how Celine had children.

"In May 2000, Dion had two small operations at a fertility clinic in New York to improve her chances of conceiving, after deciding to use in vitro fertilization because of years of failed attempts to conceive. Their first son, René-Charles Angélil, was born on 25 January 2001. Dion suffered a miscarriage in 2009. In May 2010, Dion announced that she was 14 weeks pregnant with twins after a sixth treatment of in vitro fertilization. On Saturday, 23 October 2010, at 11:11 and 11:12 am respectively, Dion gave birth to fraternal twins by Caesarean section"

-- Wikipedia

It is not wrong to want to have children.

But this is what the Bible says:

Genesis 30:22

King James Version

22 And God remembered Rachel, 

and God hearkened to her, 

and opened her womb.

1 Samuel 1:5-6

King James Version

5 But unto Hannah he gave a worthy portion; 

for he loved Hannah*: 

but the Lord had shut up her womb.

6 And her adversary also provoked her sore, 

for to make her fret, 

because the Lord had shut up her womb.

Psalm 127:3

King James Version

3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: 

and the fruit of the womb is his reward.

A couple's ability to have children rests solely upon GOD's will.

It is not for the medical profession to defy GOD's will.

It is not for couples to pay doctors so they could have a child.

It is not for man to use science, when only GOD can give life.

It is not for man to have "designer" babies.

It is not for man to play GOD.

That is all vanity.

At what cost?

Only GOD knows.

Now, remember this about the medical profession.

Something many don't care to acknowledge.

For their own vested interests.

Doctors pay homage to other gods through their Hippocratic Oath:

"I swear by Apollo Healer, by Asclepius, by Hygieia, by Panacea, and by all the gods and goddesses, making them my witnesses, that I will carry out, according to my ability and judgment, this oath and this indenture."

-- Wikipedia

That is idolatry.

We put our power in gods, goddesses, and self.

Does it surprise us, then, what the medical field does?

With no respect, or love, for GOD.

How far have we gone to defy GOD's creation?

We are all ripe for judgment.

Which will surely come.

Lastly, Celine created in 2018, together with two Israeli women, a children's clothing line called Celinununu.

It saddens me that they would do that to children.

Making infants and children wear black, with skulls, and stars.

Some shirts imprinted with the words, "NEW ORDER".

We are surely "OUT of ORDER".

Celine, and her Jewish partners, have no idea their sin.

But we shall look into that in another article SPIRIT wants me to write.

It's not only about not being content with the usual pink for girls; blue for boys.

They had to have gender-neutral clothing, which dulls the children's spirits.

JESUS said:

Matthew 18:6-7

King James Version

6 But whoso shall offend 

one of these little ones which believe in me, 

it were better for him that a millstone 

were hanged about his neck, 

and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.

7 Woe unto the world because of offences! 

for it must needs be that offences come; 

but woe to that man 

by whom the offence cometh!

We  must not put "stumbling blocks" on other people's paths.

Most of all young souls, such as infants and children.

Who have no idea what we make them do.

Romans 14:13

King James Version

13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: 

but judge this rather, 

that no man put a stumblingblock 

or an occasion to fall 

in his brother's way.

To everything Celine is suffering from, I ask a few questions:

Has she forgotten GOD?

Does she believe in GOD at all?

What is her concept of GOD?

Can she acknowledge that ONLY JESUS can heal her?

Is she aware of her errors against GOD, and children?

When I saw her suffering from "Stiff-person syndrome", showing her all twisted up, and a very frightening face, I could only recall an article SPIRIT and I wrote on 15 January 2023:

"SPIRIT of INFIRMITY"

I am confident ONLY JESUS can heal her.

She must give her heart to the LORD.

She must become born again.

She must be taught by SPIRIT about JESUS.

She must drop EVERYTHING that doesn't honor the LORD.

If you are in need of healing, turn to JESUS.

ONLY JESUS can heal us, of ALL our ills.

COPING with GRIEF

 

Psalm 147:3

King James Version

3 He healeth the broken in heart, 

and bindeth up their wounds.

It is a rare person who has not known grief.

Who has not known loss.

Who has not know the passing of a loved one.

Who has not known sadness.

Most of us have gone through it.

Sometimes, many times over.

Where did you get your comfort from?

Who comforted you?

How did you get through those tough times?

Because GOD predestined my life, He prepared me for it.

We were all predestined for something.

It is your duty to know what GOD has for you.

It's only the person who refuses to acknowledge GOD, who gets surprised, angry, or betrayed.

GOD is merciful.

He prepares us for things.

We can only get through grief by believing in JESUS.

By acknowledging the power of GOD, through Him.

By acknowledging His power over our lives.

By being grateful for all grace given.

Without grace, grief would make us perish.

It's been 32 months for me now.

How did I cope?

By writing.

Knowing I was shattered, SPIRIT led me to create a blog.

For myself, as well as for everyone going through grief:

"CONQUERING the LAST enemy"

With every article, was a new discovery.

That blog is RICH in COMFORT.

SPIRIT also made me create this blog you're reading now.

In quietude, I found my peace.

In JESUS, I found my healing.

In Scripture, I found my clarity.

In GOD, I found my strength.

In SPIRIT, I found my truth.

Another blog SPIRIT inspired me to create, for comfort is this:

"Comforting the afflicted"

Sorrow is affliction.

Only through JESUS -- the WORD -- did I manage to survive.

Of course, family, friends, and relatives who cared, helped GREATLY.

We all need the love from everyone around us.

In the same manner, these are the people we need to look after, too.

We may have "lost" others, but there's still each other to care for.

That's what I remind myself constantly.

Before grief takes hold of me too much.

There are others to care for.

LOVE is ALWAYS give, and take.

Even, as in GOD's books, JESUS merely GAVE.

In His desire to save us all.

In conforming with GOD's wishes.

My baby sister remains in my heart forever.

She was my partner in writing.

Actually, there were THREE of us.

JESUS, my sister, and myself.

We had a wonderful time writing each day.

GOD gave me two more bonus years with her.

Mercifully, after He made me born again in 2019.

Of course, I envisioned we'd have each other forever.

But that will come, too.

She is the other half of me, which has gone on to CHRIST.

Ecclesiastes 12:7

King James Version

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth 

as it was: 

and the spirit shall return unto God 

who gave it.

2 Corinthians 5:8

King James Version

8 We are confident, I say, 

and willing rather to be absent from the body, 

and to be present with the Lord.

How can the body's spirit not go back to GOD?

It was He Who gave us the "breath of life":

Genesis 2:7

King James Version

7 And the Lord God formed man 

of the dust of the ground, 

and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; 

and man became a living soul.

I do look forward to this day that JESUS promised:

Revelation 21:1-3

King James Version

21 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: 

for the first heaven and the first earth 

were passed away; 

and there was no more sea.

2 And I John saw the holy city, 

new Jerusalem, 

coming down from God out of heaven, 

prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, 

Behold, 

the tabernacle of God is with men, 

and he will dwell with them, 

and they shall be his people, 

and God himself shall be with them, 

and be their God.

Revelation 21:4

King James Version

4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; 

and there shall be no more death, 

neither sorrow, 

nor crying, 

neither shall there be any more pain: 

for the former things are passed away.

Revelation 21:5

King James Version

5 And he that sat upon the throne said, 

Behold, 

I make all things new. 

And he said unto me, 

Write: 

for these words are true 

and faithful.

Revelation 21:6-7

King James Version

6 And he said unto me, 

It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, and he shall be my son.

Revelation 21:22-26

King James Version

22 And I saw no temple therein: 

for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb 

are the temple of it.

23 And the city had no need of the sun, 

neither of the moon, to shine in it: 

for the glory of God did lighten it, 

and the Lamb is the light thereof.

24 And the nations of them which are saved 

shall walk in the light of it: 

and the kings of the earth do bring 

their glory and honour into it.

25 And the gates of it shall not be shut at all by day: 

for there shall be no night there.

26 And they shall bring 

the glory and honour of the nations into it.

Don't you look forward to such a day?

Now you see why Scripture gives me comfort.

All the help you need can be found in CHRIST.

He is the VERY EMBODIMENT of SCRIPTURE.

His work, and gift to us, has been prophesied.

Isaiah 61:1-3

King James Version

61 The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; 

because the Lord hath anointed me 

to preach good tidings unto the meek; 

he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, 

to proclaim liberty to the captives, 

and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, 

and the day of vengeance of our God; 

to comfort all that mourn;

3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, 

to give unto them beauty for ashes, 

the oil of joy for mourning, 

the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; 

that they might be called trees of righteousness, 

the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified.

The Bible, which happens to be JESUS,  offers you real comfort.

But you cannot understand its treasures, unless you're born again.

Only by being born again can the HOLY SPIRIT of GOD teach you.

And explain everything to you.

As He did, with me.

Thus, all the blogs.

GROW in GRACE as you GRIEVE.

TRUST GOD, with all your heart.

LOVE HIM, with all you've got.

He gave us His SON, and SPIRIT.

To save, and comfort us.

JESUS is there for all of us.

We are never alone.

We are never lonely.

We are never forgotten.

Neither shall we forget, all who have gone on.

Ahead of us.

My baby sister's work is done.

Mine has just begun.

Precisely why I'm still here.
