We spend 38 days a year staring at a screen in third person, but have lost the relational rhythms of building roots with actual people.Here are 125 of the most uplifting religious sympathy messages, which you can use to send words of condolence. We’ve positioned our lives at a pace that is not conducive for building deep friendships. Chalking their struggles up to God’s injustice, their brokenness, or a problem with the church, most don’t stop to consider a far more obvious truth. At the same time, these are almost always the same people who tell me they are “just too busy” to join a small group, ministry team, or even attend church regularly. They express restlessness at the lack of a place to belong. “It is a common occurrence to sit with a precious but struggling son or daughter of God who shares that while they have many friendly people in their life with whom they share a hobby, workspace, or the banter of small talk, they don’t feel they really have any core friends who regularly see and pursue them. Come back, and be dead!' And still as they went down they heard the little sweet voice, more and more faintly, half calling and half singing, 'Come back and be dead, Come back and be dead!” As Riah followed to attend him down the stairs, the little creature called out to the Jew in a silvery tone, 'Don't be long gone. Mr Fledgeby seemed to think it rather a good suggestion, and with a nod turned round. 'But you are not dead, you know,' said Jenny Wren. 'He was long enough coming, anyhow,' grumbled Fledgeby. 'Why it was only just now,' said the little creature, pointing at him, 'that I fancied I saw him come out of his grave! He toiled out at that low door so bent and worn, and then he took his breath and stood upright, and looked all round him at the sky, and the wind blew upon him, and his life down in the dark was over!-Till he was called back to life,' she added, looking round at Fledgeby with that lower look of sharpness.

Her eyes fell on the old man, who, with his hands folded, quietly looked on. 'Oh, so peaceful and so thankful! And you hear the people who are alive, crying, and working, and calling to one another down in the close dark streets, and you seem to pity them so! And such a chain has fallen from you, and such a strange good sorrowful happiness comes upon you!' 'Oh, so tranquil!' cried the little creature, smiling. 'How do you feel when you are dead?' asked Fledgeby, much perplexed. The little creature looked above her, holding up her slight transparent hand. And you see the clouds rushing on above the narrow streets, not minding them, and you see the golden arrows pointing at the mountains in the sky from which the wind comes, and you feel as if you were dead.' 'And the air!' with a 'Poof!' at the smoke. 'The quiet!' repeated Fledgeby, with a contemptuous turn of his head towards the City's roar. 'You see, you don't know what the rest of this place is to us does he, Lizzie? It's the quiet, and the air.' “We are thankful to come here for rest, sir,' said Jenny.
