" It is better to spend your time at funerals than at festivals. For you are going to die, and you should think about it while there is still time. Sorrow is better than laughter, for sadness has a refining influence on us. A wise person thinks much about death, while the fool thinks only about having a good time now." - (NLT)
Many people have been dying.
The deaths have been a wake up call for me.
To start living while I am living.
At times I get a little frustrated with myself.
I wonder if I'm growing in God.
Is God for me?
Am I for God?
Am I abiding in God and is He taking root in me?
Death causes us to revvaluate the important things in life.
We can take nothing with us when we leave this world.
Death humbles us in who we really are.
This quote rings a bell: "And at once I knew I was not magnificent " -(Bon Iver, Holocene)
God is the magnificent One.
he decides if we even get to breathe another breath.
Humbling, isn't it?
The God of teh universe sustains everything in this world and even little ol' me.
I don't want to spend the rest of my life beating myself up for all of my failures.
As long as I'm living I will believe that God still has hope for me.
That, yes, He does love me.
He's shed His grace on me.
Just like the scriptures say: "It's better to be a live dog than a dead lion!" -(Ecclesiastes 9:4)
There is hope for me.
God please be with me.
No one will ever understand me.
They can't.
But you do.
Be with me in all my of endless numbered days....Selah.
