So untimely. Death's sickle swings and life no longer breathes through a person.
My friend's classmate's Dad just passed away. So I read, from his blog.
In a twinkling of an eye, a once-cheerful figure of the household has now become a distant memory.
Sometimes, death causes fear. None of us have tasted it, albeit many with close encounters. Many are fearful of the unknown.
It does also cause contemplation and introspect. It makes us wonder, why God chooses to let live and send some into eternity. Well, this I do not know. I wasn't there when the dimensions of the earth were measured.
One thing I do know, is that death makes me think about my life. It makes me ponder over the activities I go placed in my schedule. It makes me wonder what there is in life that is actually worth all my effort.
I was talking to another teacher and he asked me,' So do you really want to do accountancy in NTU? Come and teach."
To make the long story short, it was a choice he would never regret.
It got me thinking, at least a little, of my future.
I really wonder what lies ahead. The next 3years in NTU are for sure, but what lies ahead?
I would really never know. But one thing's for sure, "the man that does the will of God lives forever."
Help me trust You Lord. Because you hold eternity, who better than you to make plans for me?
In the face of death, I think much of those who have not known Christ. It makes people think of their life in eternity.
So dear friend whose classmate's parent has passed away, do take this chance to share the gospel. An untimely event placed in the will of God makes for a perfect slot on heaven's timetable.
