Death

 

 

There is no doubt about it, our bodies are going to die and decay one day.

However, our soul and spirit are eternal.

Even if we end up going or are destined to head to the right place, some of us may still dread or have an uneasy feeling about the process of the transition.

No matter how any of us perceive the occurrence to take place whether the experience is peaceful and pleasant, or eerie and overwhelming due to the unfamiliarity that will become familiar, we still do not exactly know what to expect.

Delving into the unknown can be scary or exciting- or both- depending on the way we look upon things.

Death is a reality none of us can escape. It will come for us all one day. But death is a doorway to a better life for those of us who are safe and who believe.

We just must be prepared to eventually take that journey knowing that it can happen at any second, minute, hour or day regardless of how young or old we are.

Tomorrow is promised to no one.

The timeline of our lives was already written and known within the heavens before we came into being.

 

For everything there is a season, a time for every activity under heaven. A time to be born and a time to die. A time to plant and a time to harvest. A time to kill and a time to heal. A time to tear down and a time to build up. A time to cry and a time to laugh. A time to grieve and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones and a time to gather stones. A time to embrace and a time to turn away. A time to search and a time to quit searching. A time to keep and a time to throw away. A time to tear and a time to mend. A time to be quiet and a time to speak. A time to love and a time to hate. A time for war and a time for peace.– Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8

 

 

 

Mourning The Loss Of A Loved One

The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed. -Psalms 34:18

I know it hurts so much when you lose someone you cared for to death. The more you loved that person the more pain you feel. It is so beautiful and dreadful at the same time. The beauty lies within the affection, the dread lies within the separation.

Though nothing can ease the injury that reflects from the broken heart may there be the comfort in knowing for the believer and those who believed that their beloved is now within a better place.

Yes, we grieve and are heavily bereaved because we miss them so dearly. But it was in God’s will and maybe he took them home to release them from any further suffering.

Nevertheless, our departed are in the best hands of our Lord and savior/heavenly father.

Also, let there be comfort in knowing that one day we will be reunited with the ones we loved- and there will be no more sadness, no more crying, no more pain and no more death. Only love, peace, and happiness forever more.

All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation, and we have a priceless inheritance—an inheritance that is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay. And through your faith, God is protecting you by his power until you receive this salvation, which is ready to be revealed on the last day for all to see. So be truly glad. There is wonderful joy ahead, even though you must endure many trials for a little while. These trials will show that your faith is genuine. It is being tested as fire tests and purifies gold—though your faith is far more precious than mere gold. So when your faith remains strong through many trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day when Jesus Christ is revealed to the whole world. You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy. The reward for trusting him will be the salvation of your souls. 1 Peter 1:3-9
