Death steals life like a thief in the night, leaving behind only empty space and time. Darkness and gloom now reside where there once was life. No one escapes this thing called death.
But wait. Does death have to be this way? No. Death can be conquered when we die of self. "For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live." Romans 8:13
Each day we have a choice to live our life selfishly engaged in worldly things that deliver temporary satisfaction or to wake in the morning asking God to reveal His path of righteousness. Spiritual healing commences when we mercifully give of ourselves.
As a grain that falls to the earth and dies in order to bear much fruit, we can accept death and bear the fruit of our labor. Death isn't the end...when we die of self and accept Jesus Christ as our savior...we are born again experiencing true life for the first time.
In death, I choose life.
