What Am I Doing Wrong?

Always About God...

Chapter 35 - Always About God...

Death is never easy. Not for those left being or those who are dying. I've heard many stories about people knowing that they are facing their last days, I don't know about you. But I have never had the courage to ask someone if they were dying or not. And then after they are gone I regret not asking. But no matter how long in advance you know that your loved one is going to leave you, you can never be prepared. Here I am thinking that I have all the time in the world, and the next day I get news that my loved one is gone. People always say that you should spend as much time as you can with the person, but how do you do that when life goes on around you? How do you tell your boss or clients that you can't work today because this might be the last day that you get to spend time with your grandfather? What do you do when the last day only happens to be two years down the line? Do you not work for two years?

Life is so unpredictable. But the Holy Bible already tells us that these things are going to happen. That we should rejoice in death because one day when Jesus comes, we will meet again. So many times I have asked myself when Jesus was going to come and I would asked Him to hurry up because life is too hard. Then I can clearly hear Him say that I need to be patient, it's not that long of a wait anymore. A few years ago I remember reading my Bible and reciting verses like it was the only way of breathing, I would write it down and stick it on my wall so that the first thing I see is God's word when I open my eyes in the morning. It was a hunger that could not be filled.

Honestly I didn't quite understand the word of God the way I do now. I think God has given me a million slaps on the back of my head already because I have been so stubborn. Sometimes I try and fit every single lesson God teaches us in my head in one day. Over thinking it and trying to understand. But the mistake we often make is deciding for ourselves what lesson God is trying to teach. We need to understand that it is never about us. But always about God!
