EMPOWERING LIVES WITH PURPOSE:
“For everything, there is a season and a time for every matter under Heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die, a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted.” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-2)
Death is not the end of all things. With death, we are forced to remember the good memories that brought fulfillment and love.
In physical death, we remember those who have brought great joy to our lives and how they impacted who we have become. We remember the values they lived by and the ways they showed their love.
It’s difficult saying goodbye to the physical, but death is an empty tomb, for the spirit is with God, and that fills us with the hope of reuniting with our loved ones, remaining in that union for a lifetime.
Other goodbyes are just an opportunity for improvement, and although it’s also difficult to let go of the old; old habits, jobs, friends, relationships and homes, we have an opportunity for growth in the Lord. Look at it as exciting new adventures.
Isaiah 43:19: “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”
Embrace the new and be blessed.
