Psalm 116

Verse 15 of this psalm speaks of the pain God experiences when a saint dies. That doesn't make sense.  We know that a saint is happy when they die because God's promised reward will meet them. And Jesus describe paradise to the thief on the other cross as their meeting place. Doesn't the joy of an eternal reunion nullify any sorrow of death? Maybe. But the death of a saint could still hurt God because of his empathy for the struggle they face in death. It could also be a painful reminder of the lost fellowship because of sin. The pain could also flow from the reminder of all those unbelievers who refuse to taste eternity with God. Surely God feels the pain of that loss more than we can imagine.
