I was reminded tonight that there are three things we can be sure of.
- That life is short.
- That death is sure.
- That there is an eternal life.
What do we do with these certainties? Try to deny their realities? Distract ourselves with temporary bliss? Silently despair over the futility of it all?
Death comes to all. A little early to some, a little later to others. It should never surprise us.
We cannot dwell on its inevitable arrival. Since eternal life has been established, the only thing we can do is to be prepared. To know for sure, in this short life we have, if we are going to be eternally blessed or be forver damned.
I want to be always ready when sure death knocks on my door to give me the surprise gift of eternal life.
