I was reading my devotions the other morning and the title was It Is Well With My Soul. I can’t read these words or hear the music without it transporting me back in time.

April 2014 to be exact.

My brother entered the arms of Jesus.

Walked through the gate of Heaven.

Pain free.

Healed.

The author penned these words after traumatic events in his own life. The words touch the very depths of my core.

And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.

The pain of losing someone you love is a pain that runs so deep. But because we have faith and know there is a place that is better than we could ever imagine, the peace that God gives is soothing.

Even so, it is well with my soul.

Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand.
His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 4:7 NLT
