This morning, as my husband was reading the paper, he let me know that one of the most well known atheists died. I don't remember his name but what I do remember is the overwhelming sense of sadness I felt once I realized his opinion would have changed as he faces eternity in misery, pain and darkness.
Do you know where you will go when you die? I hate talking about death. I hate thinking about death. Maybe it is because I deal with abandonment issues, or maybe it is because I have been on the receiving end of losing a loved one and knowing the years of pain that come with needing to work through it. One thing I can rest assured of is I know, I will see my Dad again.
How many opportunities do we have to share our faith? I am a very shy person, and the thought of being bold is very nerve-racking to me, but I wonder about the opportunities where the actions are there. Being able to be kind at the doctor's office when your appointment was missed and you have been waiting for an hour, or if the service at a restaurant was terrible. What about the everyday moments when each person you encounter could be a brief opportunity to be the example Jesus called you to be.
So I will seize my opportunity via bloggerville: Do you know where you will go when you die?
I know.
I am far from perfect, sinning on a daily basis. But I serve God who sent His one and only Son to die for my sins so I could be forgiven, and go to heaven when I die.
I know it is GOD who created the heavens and the earth, (Genesis 1:1) and I know it is GOD who loved the world so much that He sent His only Son as a perfect sacrifice for our sins (John 3:16) Because of these things, I KNOW where I will go when I die.
Do YOU know where you will go when you die?
