Loved Ones of Ashley Nicole Stephens: My heartfelt desire is that you can find comfort in God's word. John 14:6 reminds us of what Jesus said: "I am the way and the truth and the life." Jesus is the life because by means of the ransom, he made life possible for all mankind to gain "the real life" that is "everlasting life." (John 3:16). This hope applies even to those who have died such as Ashley. (John 6:40). I sincerely hope that you find these promises comforting to you during your sadness!
