This was written by Charles Spurgeon in "Beside Still Waters"
Here is comfort: If the Father of our Lord Jesus arranges all, then our friends do not die untimely deaths. Believers are not cut off before their time. God has appointed a time to harvest His fruit. Some are sweet, even in the early spring, and He gathers them. Others, like baskets of summer fruit, are taken while the year is young. Yet some remain until autumn mellows them. Be sure of this, each will be gathered in season. God has appointed the commencement, the continuation and the conclusion of your mortal life. (p. 123)
This is of real comfort to me, as the enemy often confronts me with guilt over Lisa's death, even to this day. To have complete confidence in God's appointed timing is a sweet balm to my aching soul on those days when it all comes back. Nothing is more beautiful or awesome than our loving God.
Just wanted to share.
