Help In Hurting
When Zach died I wasn’t sure if I could live another day, much less take another breath. I could not understand why God took such a young wonderful life. I started searching the Bible to see what it says about death and Heaven. I was amazed at what I discovered. There was so much hope in the Bible that it gave me peace.
Some of the verses:
Ecclesiastes 7:2b Death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart.
Psalm 139:16 All the days of my life were written in your book before one of them came to be.
John 13:7 You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.
Ecclesiastes 3:11 He made everything beautiful in time. He also set eternity in the hearts of men, yet they cannot fathom what God has done from the beginning to the end.
John 3:16-17 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 God did not send his son to condemn the world but to save the world.
There is so much hope and joy in the Bible. I knew I could not change what God had planned for my life. I had to keep living and try to make each day count. I want to bring joy to people I meet every day. We don’t know what they are going through. I decided to be “outward “focused, not “in word “focused.
God created so many earthly examples of life after death. Look at butterflies. They start out as caterpillars crawling on the ground, struggling to get to where they are going. (Example of our daily life). Then one day they go out into a cocoon (grave) and emerge into a beautiful butterfly flying carefree and so beautiful.
