Last Saturday started out pretty shocking.. As me and 4 other girls were catching the bus to go to the internet cafe, we turned around and on the wet and dirty pavement was a man with his motorcycle on top of his legs. He was shaking and my first thought was, ‘Please Lord, I do not want to see someone die!’ A man who was close by lifted the motorcycle off of him and we walked over. All i could do was sit there, stare at him, and pray!! I was clueless as to what was going on, but i felt the helplessness he had. After he finally stopped shaking, they told us he was epileptic and was having a seizure. He got up and thy hlpd him to his house.
God spoke to that night a lot about fear and death. First of all, at first when I saw that man, I was in complete fear. But why would i be afraid? God knows all, he would never hurt me or any of his beloved children, he is always watching out for us and taking care of us! We have NOTHING to fear!! He knows every second of very persons life.. BLOWS MY MIND!! So now, about death… When i usually think about death, i think about physical death. But really, so many people are LIVING in death, we see it in peoples yes here everyday. It’s here in India and back at home! Before i actually started living in union with God, I was living in death. But now, he has given me this life!! EVERLASTING, ABUNDANT, VICTORIOUS LIFE!! Everyday i want to share this LIFE with everyone i come in contact with.. to have God encounters with everyone i meet!!
Psalm 118:17 I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord
Psalm 116:8-9 For you have delivered my soul from death, my eyes from tears, my feet from stumbling. I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living.
John 5:24 Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. H does not come into judgement. but has passed from death to life.
1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed out of death into life, because we love th brothers. Whoever does not love abides in death.
