Philippians 1:21
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Every once in a while Satan likes to plant the fear of death in my head. Now, I am not actually afraid of dying. I know I am saved. I know where I will be going. The actual pain I feel comes from two places. My human nature of knowing what it is like to miss my loved ones is the first. The second is simply, I am afraid of how I am going to die and the pain that it may include. I am sure we have all prayed, “Lord, please let me go fast and painless, maybe in my sleep if you don’t mind.”
No, I have to admit there is another side of me that likes to throw a few comments back in Satan’s face. He brings up that basically, he could kill me right now where I stand. I like to point out that yes, he could, but he has to have God’s permission, and well if it is my time it is what it is. I also like to remind him that if he thinks I annoy him on Earth, just what does he think it will be like when I can follow HIM around for a change? Just sayin’ 💁🏻♀️
No matter how you look at death, living today, I am going to live for Christ. I am getting the word out to as many people as I can. To die means, as a friend of mine says, “I graduated!” I will be in paradise with Jesus forever and ever. So, Satan, death is not a fear threat. Move on Satan, move on!
Lord I don’t want to live in fear. I want to live for You and spread Your love why I can here on Earth. ~Amen
