\nnot in the memory, but in the presence of the one we love.
\nThe Christian is in God; the departed one is in
\nGod, too, only nearer to Him than we on earth.
\nOne is on this side of the veil, the other on that.<\/p>\n
\nnearer to each other in Him, non in any physical manner by
\nsight\u00a0 or sound or touch – that would be only to restore
\nwhat is most imperfect and what death was meant to end-
\nbut in the deep, hidden bonds that bind the sould of them that
\nlove God together.<\/p>\n
\npersonal love of Jesus become the comfort of one that
\nsorrows, not because they make one forget or benumb one’s
\nfeelings, but because through them the soul is being drawn
\nnearer to God.\u00a0 Thus there comes to be a deep meaning in
\nthe benediction ‘Blessed are they that mourn’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
