DEATH SUCKS

It does really suck. I don’t care that it is a part of life. I don’t care that it is inevitable, it still sucks. A life just stops here. Done, over with so much left undone or said. It is not fair! I am aware that God has a plan. I know HE does. I know life is not fair. Everything be one in the end, I believe that. It just doesn’t make me feel better now.

I read about so many dying at such young ages with ‘unknown causes’ or cancer or worse. It’s heartbreaking for those left behind to endure such loses. To be comforted only by memories which don’t do the job when we need them to. You feel you will never stop crying. You want to be numb because then maybe you won’t hurt, but then afraid that you will never feel again because a part of you is gone. Cannot replace that part of you. A friend; a child; a spouse; parent; sibling, it doesn’t make it easier.

Age is meaningless. ‘Oh they are out of pain’, is worthless right now. ‘They lived a long life’, still so much to do. None of that works because you want that person here and now. To hold onto so to say, ‘I need you. I love you. I’m so happy that I have you.’ Never gets old if you mean it.

I don’t like the perceived unpredictability of life. Must enjoy the moment. Not promised tomorrow which is so true. A piece of the puzzle is added or taken away makes the whole puzzle different. That is happening everyday with us not noticing until we stop to see that it happened to us. That is where we go numb or insane.

Death is an exit to an unknown continuation. I do not believe that we turn off never to feel again. To know that we turn off means that life is not dead and we have to know that we turned off for it to actually mean something. Life is immortal with two options: broken road or a perfect one.

We are not perfect, but faith makes up for that if we accept Jesus Christ. God is immortal but this world is finite. We try to extend the warranty. There is a beginning and an ending like a book. Own the world even though we do not. We found it but we didn’t make it. Prolong our existence with drugs and plastics but we still age with change rolling about.

Where is God? HE is standing right here where each of us is. HE is not looking for us, HE knows where we are. HE is the beauty of life in this world. Untainted by corruption of evil. The purity of a song; a sunset; a kind word; a nice meal; a laugh; a hope; a gentle hand expecting nothing in return.

We need to turn around with our arms open so HE CAN SAVE US. Tell HIM you need HIM. Tell Him you love HIM because HE loves you. Tell HIM everything on your mind good and bad. Just between you and God. HE listens. It doesn’t work if we don’t accept.

We must choose the dark or the light. Knowingly or not we make that choice. Do it with a willingness. The light is hope and the dark is nothing.

Christ can and does help us if we let HIM. We don’t have to be alone. God is knocking on the door. HE gives us help through our friends; family; knowledge and talents but we don’t look for God to show us the way.

We know squat. Everything we got is Gods. All we got is a choice. I want everyone who reads this to choose Jesus Christ but you have to choose. To love; forgive; be kind; merciful; accept others comes only truly from God. Christ is God. Do we exit this world still, yes, but we don’t have to doubt where we go if we trust God; embrace Jesus Christ and walk with him.
