Separação
A separação traz dor profunda, mas a Bíblia nos consola com a promessa de que Deus nunca nos abandona. Seja na perda, na distância ou no luto, Ele é nosso refúgio.
Deus está presente na dor
O Senhor está perto dos quebrantados de coração e promete nunca nos deixar órfãos. Na separação, Ele é nosso consolo mais íntimo.
The Lord is there to rescue
all
who are discouraged
and have given up hope.
I may walk through valleys
as dark as death,
but I won’t be afraid.
You are with me,

Your faith will be like gold that has been tested in a fire. And these trials will prove that your faith is worth much more than gold that can be destroyed. They will show that you will be given praise and honor and glory when Jesus Christ returns.
Amor que persevera
O amor verdadeiro é mais forte que a separação. A fé nos sustenta e nos dá a certeza de que o reencontro virá.
Love cannot be drowned
by oceans or floods.
It cannot be bought—
any offer would be scorned
no matter how great.
