Reflections for Police Officer Robert Anthony Kozminski

Father God, You are always faithful and quick to show mercy. Our Brother-In-Blue, Police Officer Robert Anthony Kozminski, of the Grand Rapids MI Police Department, was suddenly and violently taken from us; Shot & Killed in the Line-of-Duty. Come swiftly to his aid, have mercy on him, and comfort his family, friends, and comrades by the power and protection of the Cross. I ask this through the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by His Authority, I pray. Amen.

Please find Encouragement, Comfort, Support, and Hope from God's Word:

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.”
[Matthew 5:9 ESV];

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." [Psalm 23:4 ESV];

"Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."
[John 15:13 ESV];

"Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted." [Matthew 5:4 ESV];

"And he [Jesus] said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." [Luke 23:43 ESV], and;

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." [John 3:16 ESV].

It is the day before your Murder. Again, I still think about you everyday and all of the "inactions" that carried on that night. You have absolutely changed peoples lives forever that night. The unanswered question of why you were in the back by yourself will live forever. The "inactions" will also live on forever. Stay Rested My Brother.

Bobby,
It has now been 11 years since your murder. I was there that night. There will always be questions unanswered about what happened and why you were in the back by yourself. There were a lot of "people" on scene but only a couple of true cops were there. This incident has changed many lives forever. It's hard to understand stand how others can live with their "in actions". For that, I am sorry My Brother.

42 pages. All we have is 42 pages this Christmas. I’m not sure why but it better be worth it. It’s been awhile.

Always on my mind. Every second, of every minute, of every hour, of every day I think of you. I had a dream a few years ago and you were in it. I was there and He answered. How do I get there?
