Good Mourning to You…
Death is necessary – it’s a part of life; and without death
there cannot be any renewal of life. Death of a thing figuratively can be a good thing – a spiritual cleanser. Death
can bring clarity because of its finality
component. After death, there is no more;
we’re all out of chances - only the judgment
remains. And it makes us realize what’s
truly important to in this life. We say with our mouths that “God is important
to us in the next life”, but what
about this one? What can you live with and
what can you live without? One thing I
know emphatically is that I cannot live without God in my life.
In a life devoid of death,
there cannot be a Resurrection. The power is in the resurrection, our comeback, our perseverance, our hope and our
promises for both this life and the next are all in Christ’s Resurrection. In him
we live and in him we die, and to
know him in the power of his resurrection,
and the fellowship of his suffering,
being conformed to his death. This is where we gain the power to succeed in any area of our
life, by dying to ourselves, and what we think that we need in order to live a life of power, when in all actuality, all
we need is to want more of him. In him
we live, move and have our being.
Something must die
for it to be resurrected. We must die to
ourselves and to our own ways, in order that we can live and live more abundantly.
The Resurrection
will always bring on-lookers, doubters, naysayers, bystanders, a few believers,
and those who simply don’t understand what is taking place.
Just know that mourning
will come, it visits everyone, but with each mourning – new mercies.
Trust that God will not take or require anything from you that you will
need for the journey, and for where you are going. If he tells you to leave it, her, him, them, they, and those; then it isn't desperately
needed as you once thought and if he asks you for it, then he has something
better that will replace whatever was lost.
So let this day be a Good
Mourning to You…
