John 16 : 28
'I came from the Father and entered the world, now I am leaving the world and going back to my Father.'
this verse is actually supposed to speak about Jesus going back to heaven after being crucified. but God has given me a new revelation of it.
this verse spoke to me. it told me that well, since we came from God, someday we will still have to go back to him. and that's why we shouldn't take death so badly. you know, when someone dies, it's not the end. in fact, it's the start. that's the real start of your life in heaven. an everlasting life. your death anniversary on earth is your birthday in heaven. on earth, people mourn over the one that dies, but in heaven, it's a time of celebration. this earthly tent of ours will fail us one day, and we will go back to the Father.
that's how i manage to still be happy when someone dies. not that i rejoice, but i comfort myself with this verse. someday, we will also be going back to heaven as long as we believe in Christ. there, we will reunite with all our loved ones that have passed away. that's why i want to share this with you. (:
