    At times like this words often fail us. I am hesitant to write anything here - Yes it is ok to take care of yourself. God can always handle our doubts. I will continue to pray you are covered by the grace and peace of God. And that in the coming days you will sense his grace and peace and a real and tangible way.

    Dear Tessera, this may sound as a cliché but only Jesus can heal your broken heart. But not through knowledge, or even the fact that you believe that. Apologetics is wonderful and an important way to defend the faith, especially in the time where we are living with atheism and science. But God wants to be so much more to you than facts that you know and believe. I always say, God is a heart God, He wants to connect with you ( us) from the heart and wants us to have real experiences of His love and peace . So real that you FEEL love, peace and comfort. You know that both you and I come from the same church background. There was almost only emphasis on performance and hardly on God's love for His children. But that's the most important thing to know about God! That He IS love and wants to fill you with it. And with that peace that is beyond human understanding ( Philippians 4: 7) . Even now, yes especially now that you need it so desperately. I encourage you to share your heart and pain with your heavenly Father who is waiting for you and always ready to comfort and help you. When I completely surrendered my life to the Lord, even though I was born again many years earlier in 1981, I got so filled and overwhelmed with the love of God that it felt as getting born again again. That same love is available for you Tessera because God loves us all the same and He has no favorites. He is waiting and longing for you to come, to pour out His healing power and love in your heart Sorry for the long comment, but I just wanted to share this with you because I feel much love and compassion for you.

    • @fromjayne4726
      @fromjayne4726 3 роки тому

      Thank you for your comment. Yes I know apologetics can only take me so far; in Gerts last book he was reading I read the following ; Proof, of course, is no substitute for faith, which is essential to our salvation and for our communion with God, nor is the study of apologetics disrespectful to our faith. Rather it augments it, informs it, bolsters it and reinvigorates it. Were it otherwise, the Bible would not say; “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have”. (1 Pet 3:15) However I also know now that God is a God of love. I pray for God's love and prayed again after your comment. I have experienced freedom from past mindsets and fears. I hope I will FEEL God's love as well. I have always been taught not to go by my feelings although I know now they can be a good indicator. But they can also be misleading. It's a struggle. Especially for someone like me who values rationality above emotions. I have however the last two months been dealing with things very intuitive. Because I have no idea how to deal with it. So I pray and use my intuition. And also talk with my friends a lot on what to do. I miss Gerts love, intellect and insights a lot. But especially his unconditional love.

    Het spijt me zo te horen van het overlijden van uw man. Ik heb te maken gehad met echtscheidingen, wat op zich al een soort dood was omdat mijn ex-man mijn beste vriend was. Alles wat ik je kan zeggen is om in de armen van Abba te kruipen en je door de Heilige Geest te laten troosten terwijl je rouwt om dit ongelooflijke verlies. Als je iets nodig hebt, neem dan contact met me op. Ik ben op Aruba. Ik spreek Engels. Ik heb dit in het Nederlands geschreven omdat ik zie dat je in Nederland bent.

  • @DAVID_RYU
    @DAVID_RYU 3 роки тому

    I'm sorry for your loss. God bless you. I wonder if you believe that God knew the time and day and how your husband would pass. I think it's safe to say that God was not surprised as in the sense that nothing can catch Him off guard as He is omniscient. However, God is also omnipotent - He is all powerful and He could have prevented your husband from passing, or in this case, I believe God allowed it to happen. I don't want to debate you on this point at all. I know you are mourning, but I thought perhaps this could be a point of comfort and not a point of conflict. Why can't we say it was God's will in this sense: God didn't desire for your husband to suffer and die, but it was God's will in the sense that He allowed it. For instance, was it God's will for His Son to be tortured and crucified on the cross? This was the greatest act of evil in human history - to crucify the sinless Son of God. God does not desire to see His Son tortured and killed but nevertheless, it was ultimately God's will. It was God's plan of redemption unfolding - He allowed it to happen, He let it happen, He decreed it happen. And nothing could have stopped this from happening, not the devil, not human free will, not natural circumstances. I comfort in this: God is in control, He is sovereign, and we can trust Him not matter what comes our way. Perhaps your husband did not die out of chance or because he had bad luck or because life is simply unfair. I exhort you to reflect more on this and perhaps you can find some more comfort and encouragement, that death and evil is not God's rival or His equal. God stands above it all as He holds all authority under heaven and on earth. That mighty and truly omnipotent God is with you and He is for you. He is truly working all things together for your good (Rom 8:28) because He actually have all the power and control to do so and sustain you. God bless you sister.

    Dear Tessera, making this video must have been very very difficult for you, yet you did it. Although I am more or less a stranger to you and therefore it may sound weird, I still will say it: I am proud of you! Because you have shown courage in this and it's beautiful to see how much you and Gert loved each other and that you ( of course!)want to keep all the great memories alive. So keep sharing about Gert and you. On the other hand don't feel pressure or an obligation to continue with what Gert did and step in his footsteps with his aplogetic ministry. Unless it is your own desire of course. But God has given you and Gert some same and some different gifts and talents. To share with the world for His glory. Gert will never be forgotten by the people that loved him, you don't have to worry about that. I hope that you are surrounded with family and friends that you can lean on as much as you need that. And above all on God , the God that became so much more real to you through Gert. And Who is always available for His children in the time of need. ( Psalm 46:1-2,) I could not only watch this video and see your sadness, I felt that I had to say this, hope you don't mind. Greetings and blessings.
