Topic: Death Of Loved Ones! Death Is Not The End Of The Road For His Children, But It's The Bend Of The Road Where There Is No More Pain, No More Suffering, No More Sickness But Everlasting Joy.
Ps. 112:6. Righteous shall be in everlasting rememberance.
Today's devotion is dedicated to the families of loved ones who lost their lives.
No one can escape death. You may be the strongest person like "Alexander the great" who conquered the world who had power, position and fame. You may be one of the richest person like Dhirubhai Ambani. You might be one of the greatest administrators like Abraham Lincoln.
Well, death is a certainty. It's no respector of any person irrespective of rich, poor, strong, healthy and weak. We all have to leave this world one day.
But, for those of us Christians, who have received Christ, we do not have to be scared or worried of death. This is not the end of life. But, it's the begining of new life where there is no pain, no suffering, no humiliations, no more ventilators needed as one God servant put it. But everlasting peace and joy.
Of all fears that plague the heart of a man, none is greater than the fear of death.
Rick Warren, pastor of saddle back church once said, "life is preparation for eternity. We were not made to last forever.. One day my heart is going to stop, and, that will be the end of my body, but, NOT THE END OF ME."
A tribute to the bereaved families:
Softly the leaves of the memory fall;
Gently we gather and treasure them all;
Unseen, unheard, you are always so near, so missed, so loved, so very dear.
Have a blessed day!ππΉπ
