Death Can Be A Friend
I have seen people suffer from a debilitation illness and it can be absolutely horrific for the one experiencing the suffering and for the one ministering to them. I remember being with a family as their family member fought bone cancer – death was a welcomed friend. I’ve been by the bedside of a dying family member who lived for days in a comatose state – death was welcomed friend. I know that this is a bit of a dark topic, but I came across a part of John’s Revelation vision that had people who disobeyed the Lord being punished in the last days. Check this out….
5 They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strikes. 6 During those days people will seek death but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them. (Revelation 9:5-6 NIV)
I want to walk in the Light of the Word of God. I want to follow Jesus and continue on a life-long journey of following Him. I ‘m not going to let the fear of death paralyze me from living life today. I want to make my life count so that in death God will be honored. I don’t believe that death here on earth is all there is. I believe in eternal life after death and I can spend eternity in my heavenly home. I also believe in a place of eternal destruction and torment where people will want to die, but can’t. I choose life here on earth through Jesus Christ so that death is not an enemy.
