Over 100,000 Lives Lost – A Personal Message
In the war against the coronavirus / COVID-19, America has reached an ominous milestone.
Over 100,000 lives in America, including 445 lives in the District of Columbia have been lost to this invisible enemy https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html. The families and friends of those who have died, along with those 1,694,599 afflicted and all who have survived this deadly disease can be comforted by the words of the song “You Know My Name” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEwrKFiNquc .
GOD knows each of your loved one’s name.
HE walked with each one by one.
HE talked with each ear to ear.
HE consoled each, breast to breast and heart to heart.
Each is one of HIS own.
Through it all and one by one, by HIS power HE comforted them, and HE counselled them. We all can be amazed HE was their friend. Throughout their lives they walked in HIS victory and lived in HIS power.
Although their loved ones may not have been able to talk to them and touch them in their final hours … GOD whispered HIS loved them and held their hands. HIS power was in each one of them, to the end.
May their memories bless us all.
