A pause.

I once read that the death of a child is like a period in the middle of a sentence. We question God and often blame Him for it. But, death is a natural part of life. None of us will ever avoid it.

Death in and of itself is a topic that is often avoided, until it becomes a reality to someone you care about.

I personally have had a great many losses, the most significant being my dad. I was only ten years old when I lost him and my life as I knew it changed that day.

Although I’ll never understand why he was taken from my life, I do know that I will see him again some day. How do I know this? I believe in our creator God who created Heaven and earth and I believe in the Bible that tells me that one day Jesus is coming back for me and I’m going home to Heaven where I’ll see my mom, dad, brothers, and other family and friends that have gone on before me.

God gives me life each day and He has a plan for me. I want to live each day like it was my last day here on earth. I want to tell others about my God and His goodness and that there is hope on the other side of this life.

Pause and reflect on the goodness of God. He provides. He comforts. He sustains. And God’s promises give me hope each and every day!

Romans 6:23 - “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
