I own a NLT Bible, but I guess I haven't came across this verse in it. I'm not sure this makes it any easier to deal with the death of a person we're close to, but this truly sheds a light upon God's plan and the destination of His followers after death.
All things are for the good. We don't see them, we can't explain them and sometimes they make us sad and angry. But in not knowing, understanding or explaining, it is also hidden, the reason. We don't know what God is saving them from sometimes, but SAVING them He is!
Brings much needed comfort as we get close to the one year anniversary of my Grandma's death. It couldn't have been at a worse time for US, but we rest in peace that it was the exact, right time for Him. And with that, we smile and remember a long life lived WITH Grandma and an eternity that awaits us, with her, in Heaven.

Isaiah 57:1
