Quote of the week-
"I don't like stealing, it makes me think of colon!" - A very tired Lauren Kelly.
This past week or so I've just been really aware of the fragility of life! I mean you know I don't really think about dying often as its not something that I'm really faced with right now! But I mean I could die at any moment, and if I'm honest sometimes that really scares me! I mean i know I have hope in heaven but that doesn't stop me from not wanting to die, that doesn't stop me from not wanting the people I love to die! I mean its hard looking at someone, or even looking in the mirror and thinking you won't always be there. And I think its hard to imagine yourself dying even more sometimes, just because you always think of things from your perspective, like can u imagine the world with out you!?! I don't mean that in the way of I think I make a big difference in the world I mean when your not there you can't imagine the world cos you always see it through your eyes. I love this world sometimes!
'In our happiest times we do not want to die. The wish for death rises only went our suffering seems unbearable. What we really want in those times in not death, but relief. We would love for the good times to come again. We would like the pain to go away. We would like to have our loved one back from the grave. We want life and happiness.
We are kidding ourselves when we romanticize death as the climax of a life well lived. It is an enemy. It cuts us off from all the wonderful pleasures of this world. We call death sweet names only as the lesser of evils. The executioner that dilivers the coup de grace in our suffering is not the fulfillment of longing, but the end of hope. The longing of the human heart is to live and to be happy.
God made us that way. "He has put eternity into man's heart"(Ecclesiastes 3:11) We are created in God's image and God loves life and lives forever. We were made to live forever. And we will. The opposite of eternal life is not annihilation. It is hell. Jesus spoke of it more than anybody, and he made plain that rejecting the eternal life he offered would result not in obliteration, but in the misery of God's wrath: "Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him"(John 3:36)'
- John Piper (The Passion of Jesus Christ)
I'm really not meaning to be totally morbid, so don't take it that way! Just thoughts about life and death.
