Once one dies, the next step is a funeral, and there are always many tears and tissues. Some write letters to their deceased loved one. Most feel an ache in their soul because they will never, in this life, be to see them again. They feel bad for themselves.
My grandfather died less than six months ago. It was unexpected, and at first, it seemed like the end of the world; everything just moved so fast. Then, I stepped back and looked at the situation that I was in. I was beyond sad that he was gone, but was it because of how I wanted him back? yes. I was sad for all the wrong reasons. I was self absorbed by my own feelings, not remembering that he is no longer suffering here on this earth. I know one might wonder, when not have been in the situation yet, why people are sad when one dies. I think we are more shocked by the realization that we have a certain number of years before we die and join that person, whether it be two years or twenty years. Such a long period of time can create a distance between two people; and sometimes it is hard to understand.
Some people think of death as a dark, black, sinister thing; but when one, a Christian, really looks at it, they see a bright picture that was painted with the love of God. The only thing that stops most Christians from their own death from this world is knowing that each person, to include themselves, had a duty to complete, a mission to achieve, and until we die, we have not fully completed that mission. God gives us a certain amount of time to complete what we were put on this earth for. Once our mission is completed, he calls us back home, so he does not have to be separated from us, and we do not have to separated from him.
I guarantee all the dead people on earth who are now in heaven would never want to come back. They are just waiting for us to complete our journey, so we, one day, will be reunited with the ones who completed their missions before we completed ours.
Why be negative when you could be positive? Why be dreary when you could be dreamy? Why keep your pride so all you get back in return is death? Why not live for the light and choose Heaven over Hell? Because is all does come down to your decision. God is handing you his present. It is your decision to either take it or leave it. Choose wisely, because you may be sorry, and want to change your decision when decision-making time is over.
Choose wisely, in every aspect of life.
