We loved you Mama / Bibi but God loves you most.

Jesus Christ said in John 14: 1-3 " Do not let your hearts be troubled. You have faith in God; have faith also in me. In my father's house there are many dwelling places. If there were not, would I have told you that I'm going to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you I'll come back again to take you to myself, so that where I am you also may be."

We Christians are citizens of heaven, as in Philippians 3:20-21 "But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we also await a savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will change our lowly body to conform with his glorified body by the power that enables him also to bring all things into subjection to himself."

Finally, brothers, lets pray for each other during this time of distress, though I know that our Lord, gave us solace through Moses in Deuteronomy 4:30-31, "In your distress, when all these things shall have come upon you, you shall finally return to the lord, your God, and heed his voice. Since the Lord, your God, is a merciful God, he will not abandon and destroy you, nor forget the covenant which under oath he made with your fathers."
