a531bcaec2c71734101cdb348047f5ea Death is like a storm.

The winds howl, the rain plummets, the sky is black.

Beyond the threatening sky, there is blue sky and sunshine. You just can’t see it. But it’s there.

Death is not the end. But for now, it feels like it.

This Bible verse gives the Christian hope-

He [God] will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away. Revelation 21:4

The Bible says God set eternity in our hearts. That’s why we wonder about life after we die.

The one who put eternity there is the one who has the answers to our wondering.

Only believe.

There are serious situations in life that change us forever.

Then there are the chronic situations in life that will never change.

Both threaten our faith. Both are opportunities to become stronger or weaker.  Despite the wounds that come from difficult, discouraging, and desperate situations, the scar tissue may be noticeable, but can become stronger and better able to tolerate stretching forces.

Yes, you can become stronger when the unfairness of life beats you down. It’s all in how you look at it.

If you don’t think about what is after life here on earth, then what  is life all about for you?

Do you have hope? If so, hope for what? That one day you will die and it will be all over?

The Bible says this:

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart;

yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

God put eternity in our hearts. That’s why we think about it.

One day, life will be over here. The injustices, unfairness, pain, and all evil will be eradicated.

If life has been difficult for you, set your thoughts on eternity when God makes everything right.

It’s the only way we can become stronger.

He has made everything appropriate in its time.

He has also put eternity in their hearts, but man cannot discover the work God has done from beginning to end.

gone.

gone.

He was here for 70 years.

Things started to taste strange. Then he started losing weight.

Then he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

He lived 8 months after that.

Black and white pictures of another time, another place – his life ahead of him. He took his place and offered his uniqueness. There was no one quite like him.

And now he’s gone.

Yet, sorrow mingles with the joy of seeing him again in eternity.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. – Ecclesiastes 3:11
