In order to find life you must honest be about death. Some of us think we are invincible and that nothing will bring us to death’s doorstep unless we have the final say…I say with all that is happening now, I have decided to part ways with death in order to find life.
Death asked several questions of me the last couple of months that I really tried to avoid because I thought those questions were absolutely unfair and unjust. I mean, who was death to talk to me when I was just barely growing from my own grief. Why wasn’t Death allowing me true space to grieve and play my own instrumental piece.
Please note clearly and I mean very clearly that I am not speaking of suicide. Because we all have things that we go through that pushes us to accept how and when to let go and let live. That thing that binds us once, we have to let die.
I belong to this group called God Group. It came to mind today as I watching this documentary about a little boy who suffered severe burn and is now permanently disfigured but his personality and zeal and thirst for life is so much bigger than someone who gets mad over spilled milk.
I think that holding on to “forever” is a mystical thing and a fragment of misapplied expectations. And as I have witnessed over my 46 years of life, there is no forever but simply fleeting moments to be YOU and be a good person in the mist of struggles and strife. So I can’t wait to part me to meet with Glory. I live in Glory this moment because I am of sound body and mind and have more work to do for my life and lives of those around me.
If there is a time to reflect and reject trivial things so we can have meaningful things, it’s now.
Because as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. And only then will death do us part.
