Life is short.
During the past weeks, I can't help but be saddened and shocked with the news of the demise of an auntie, a cousin, an ex church mate, friend's mom and a family friend. Here in Taiping, 2 church members has just passed away too.
There has just been too many deaths for the past weeks. It's very sad. And I can't imagine the pain and the grief that the immediate family are experiencing right now. The saddest of all was the death of our friend and a cousin who are just barely in their 30's. It's like they are too young to die. Ambitions hasn't been reached yet. Life hasn't been experienced to the full yet.
And with these events.. we can't help but have questions.. why..why.. and why? I'm sure their families must have also asked God, Why? Why he has to die? Why now? Why..
We all know that God must have a better plan and his ways are perfect but sometimes it's very difficult for us to accept His plan and His ways. I just hope and pray that even at this very time, the family is continually comforted by God's presence in their lives.
We on the other hand who are still living, let us live our lives to the fullest.. on how God wants it to be lived. Let us be encouraged to strive for the things that have eternal value rather than the things that are temporal. Our life here on earth is short. Let it be used to prepare our lives for ETERNITY.
