When young people die what happens to them?

I have had several cousins die at a young age. I also had a nephew who died when he was only 21 days old.

I have grieved immensely over these losses over the years and have often wondered if they have a place in Gods great plan.

Recently, while reading the bible, I found the answer to the questions I have wrestled with in my heart for so long. And I found peace.

I want to share with you what I found in 1 Thessalonians Chapter 4:

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

I hope you find as much comfort and find as much peace in these verses as I have.

Much Love,

Luv Smile
