Death

A very interesting thought was presented during church last night.

How do you feel about death?
What do you think about when you think about heaven?


I must confess that I've been comforted by the thought of heaven - that I will see my loved ones again there. That there will not be pain or heartache or suffering anymore.



But truly, the point of heaven should be God.
And as a believer, if that be the case, I should see death as a mere doorway to seeing God again.

Simply put, death=meeting God "now".




We speculate that my brother, upon falling into the waters, had hit something and broken his neck, and died instantly - without realizing he was about to die.

I imagine that his next experience will be to open his eyes to the sight the reunion between us and God.

When I think about that.... it puts my heart at ease to let my grandma go.
That she will trade the suffering and pain of this life to walk through the doorway that will lead her to meeting God "sooner"... it is reassuring.




Heaven is about GOD.
Not about us.
