Dear family of Alyson Aly, I am so very sorry for the loss of your little one. Please accept my deepest condolences. When death strikes a child, friends of the bereaved family may try to comfort them by saying, "God must have needed another angel in heaven."
If it were true that God causes children to die because he needs more angels in heaven, it would imply that he is unfeeling, even cruel. The Bible says otherwise. Children are gifts from God. Would a God of love, take back a gift that he has given? A child's untimely death brings great sadness, hurt, and pain. What hope, then, do grieving parents have. The Bible promises that God will resurrect countless millions. IMAGINE children-restored with healthy bodies-REUNITED with their loved ones. (John 5:28,29)
We also have this promise- "and he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and DEATH will be NO MORE, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore." Revelation 21:4
May our God of comfort, comfort you now and in the days to come.
