When is death a good thing?
Death is inevitable. In the natural, death is a consequence of life. People mourn in times of death. Few people really rejoice over death of a love one.
So is there a good thing in death? When is death ever good?
Someone told me that people resists change. I believe that death is a kind of change or a change agent so people resist death. People know that things will never going be the same after someone dies.
Death means change and that change is different for different people and different family.
To our family, the death of my father means our lives are going to be tough. Being tough means financial lack, flat poverty and flooding debt. My sisters told me times when we don't have any money to buy food and they have to improvise and use soy sauce mixed with rice for their meal.At that time my mom was drowned in debt.We were very poor. But it was in those times when my mom lifted ourlives to the Lord. She doesn't have anyone to go to but to the God who created the universe. Those were the times when my mother's faith was built that even when I became an atheist, she still prayed for me every morning while I'm still asleep. My mom's faith grew and so are my sisters'. They became tougher than before.
When I thought I was going to die, I had a change of heart since I realized that life is so short and so fragile.I told myself, "Man, I am going to die and I didn't even have a girlfriend." Then I asked, "why is it that I don't have a girlfriend?". Then I realized that it was because I was afraid; I was afraid I was going to get dumped; I was afraid to be hurt; I was afraid to be vulnerable; I was afraid that that person will not feel the same way as I do. I told myself. "Now because of being afraid, I will die without even telling the lady (my crush at that time) I loved how special she is to me. Sayang! If only I was brave enough to show that I am soft. Even though she may not feel the same way it could have been alright as long as she knows.. I cared for her." Then I prayed to the Lord and I said," God let me live, I have so much to do. I am so young to die. I still have unconfessed feelings to a lady." The Lord healed me and I went out of the hospital a changed man.
I realized that any moment could be our last. The words we left to a friend could be the last words we will ever leave them. The emotions we express to our parents could be our last.
If there's anytime to show care to your friend, family, officemate, schoolmate or anybody, the best time to do it is, anytime today. It could be our or their last lets make it count.
Psalms 90:12 says "Teach us to number our days aright, that we may gain a heart of wisdom."
