Let me guess who you miss. I know someone else who misses their – mother, father, brother, sister, aunt, uncle, grandmother, grandfather, husband, wife, child, cousin, and dearest friend. So, that means you and I are not alone. Some people have not found anyone to love and so that can be worse than missing a loved one. At least, we have memories. At least we have loved and been loved. At least we know God loves each of us no matter who we are, no matter what we have done. It gives me a good feeling inside to know that Jesus loves me too.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten son. That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have eternal life.
