Death, Life, and God


In the middle of night, cant go to sleep, thoughts encompass my brain, this is something that calls to all us. A silent sleeper, a quick pill, a car crash, cancer, and murder. This all involves death, the one thing humans have no chance of escaping therefore we must face what happens when we die. For a long time I took it for granted that I knew what happens when I die. I thought doesn't everybody, but I have been thinking lately about how many people really have no answer for what happens when they die or where they go, do we just go into the ground never to return, do we become gods and rule our own planets, do we get 99 virgins, do we reincarnate. All these answers to life's questions about something that happens after this life we live. I have come to the conclusion that the only plausible solution to this answer to death is belief in after life, or else what would be the point of living such a life here and now, to acquire wealth, a family, possessions, friends, wealth, power, success, does this buy happiness when your body will decay in 85-110 years after it comes to life. This conclusion does not come on our own but God reveals it to us, it is amazing to me how awesome God is when I think about it. He reveals his salvation to us when we don't even follow him he is working in our lives, when we do accept him he comes into our hearts and helps us to live life the way he designed us to, he is the one who saves us and gives us eternal life. This life would be so empty without God he gives it meaning and purpose or else life would be about self pleasing rather than living for God who created us. these are just some of my thoughts which exhaust my head day and night but its good to think because without thoughts our actions would go nowhere
