I was waiting for a verse.
This morning God heard me. And here it goes.
I saw some photos of what happened to one of the cities in my country, The Philippines - The Maguindanao Massacre and felt blank and empty looking at the gruesome pictures. Yeah. It was the deadliest massacre ever!
When I wasn't yet a Christian and never found out
the TRUTH about life probably I would react negatively towards the killers and ask God why this has happened. Not adding to the fact that I've already read alot of this kind of reaction on twitter and facebook.
As I look and meditate through it all.
I've learnt that Death happens and strikes everywhere.
Yesterday, a friend told me she witnessed a 5yr old and a granny got hit by a car.
Last week, , an athlete-a rowing coach got drowned and died.
You see. Death indeed strikes everywhere, anywhere and to anyone!
There's death on the streets when one gets hit by a car, truck, get mobbed or simply hit by a lightning while walking.
There's death when there's a tsunami, earthquakes, or any other natural calamities.
There's death when you travel with a plane, ship, cars.
There's death when sleeping. I know some people who are healthy that unknowingly didn't even make it on the next day. Tsk!
And of course, there's death in sickness.
If you are observant enough.
Death is everywhere.
You cannot stop it.
These thoughts have prompted me to ask.
When one dies , what's next?
People of the world can investigate, mourn, ask a lot of whys and hope they can bring back the life.
Me ?
The only question that fills my mind
whenever I hear death is ,
"Is he/ she saved?"
I felt a little uncomfy about that thought.
But God backed it all out with this verse.
