John 11:25-26
…whoever
believes in me, even if he dies, will live, and anyone who lives and believes
in me will never die.
I had my share of accidents and
disasters. On strong rains, our place
would be flooded up to about 2 feet.
Then, there was the fire that destroyed our house. I’ve been involved in 3 vehicular
accidents: the first one, while I am in
a jeep with my family. Luckily, my
father-in-law was able to slow it down before hitting the back of the truck, or
else, no one knows. The second one is
when my car got hit by another at the back.
We suddenly stopped because a bus cut the taxi in front of us. The last one is in China
Thinking about all of this brush with
deaths really makes me shudder. What if
I was not lucky at that time, where would I be the next time I opened my
eyes. Would I be facing the devil and
his minions or come face to face with God, finally feeling the warmth of His
love and care? Our hearts and souls
should always yearn for the latter. For
that is the very essence of our lives – to serve and follow His will and be the
temple of the living God, so we may join Him in the after-life.
Almighty Father, we worship You, the only true
and living God who created us, who watches over us, who loves us, who hears our
prayers and who takes care of us. May we
continue to live for You today and in all eternity.
Oh Lord, make us faithful followers of the
spirit of your resurrection. Grant that
we may be inwardly renewed; dying to ourselves in order that you may live in
us. May our lives serve as signs of the
transforming power of your love. This we
ask of you, Lord Jesus, living and reigning with the Father, in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, God forever.
Amen +
“May I live for
You
And live with You
forever
For I live because
of You.”
…for holy is the LORD, our God.
