The last couple of weeks have been difficult for me. I have known two people who have lost their battle with cancer, and I also found out that my step-dad is battling against cancer again.
As I tried to process my thoughts and tried to understand I realized that most people are afraid to deal with the issue of death and/or dying.
I admit that most of my life I never really wanted to think about death or dying, so I just blew it off as if it was not important. It wasn’t until about 2 to 3 years ago when I started to understand the importance of salvation.
I remember when I found out my ex-sister in-law was murdered I was shocked. I began to get this uncomfortable feeling and this question that kept going through my mind “Was she saved.” I couldn’t without a doubt say that I knew she was saved. I began to feel guilt and despair not knowing if she would be going to Heaven or Hell.
Needless to say this weighed on my heart for quite sometime. I guess what I have learned is not to take life for granted. We do not know how long our friends and family will live, so I now take the opportunities to talk to my friends and family about salvation. I can’t make the decision for someone but I can at least care enough about them to share about their eternity.
