Saddleback Church Pastor Kay Warren Writes Heartbreaking Letter to Late Son: 'Happy Birthday in Heaven'"I have a certain hope that God will make all things right and He will rebuild the ruins of our lives. I'm absolutely certain that I will join Matthew in Heaven because Jesus is alive. I'm gonna live. Those are things that are absolutely certain. I don't have any doubt over them.
