Come in to my forest and I may just munch on you for lunch!
deathFrom the beginning of time man has wondered about what lies beyond the doors of death. Fearful of the "unknown" he has reached into his deepest imagination trying to find what lies beyond the boundaries of this life.
Some envision a life reincarnate in another body but with the same spirit or life essence.
Others envision a great deity waiting to judge and condemn you to an eternity of darkness and pain in a lake of fire or an eternity of paradise with no pain or sorrow. Still others see an army of ghosts destined to walk the earth haunting those who remain.
But today I want to pose to you this question: What if there is no "after life" of any kind? What if death is the end, your over and done, kaput, finished, your parking meter expired for good? then what ? What would this mean?
Maybe thoughts of an after life aren't so healthy. Maybe they cause you to procrastinate, to postpone really living this life to it's fullest?
I hear others speaking of how wonderful heavens going to be, and how they can't wait to be with Jesus! But to you I pose this question. If you believe in Jesus and what he taught do you not believe he is with you now? And if your savior and you are one in the spirit isn't your heaven here and now?
And those who are waiting for the "next life " to be perfected as in reincarnation, I say whats a matter with perfecting yourself now? can't you get started in this life to be the best you can be and do the best you can do?
If there is no after life you may be throwing your one and only chance to truly live away on a a bet or a gamble.
I think you should live this life like it's the only one you have or ever will have. See it as your one chance to get things right, to make your mark, to live and love and experience all life has to offer!
Maybe each second would seem more precious, each kiss, each hug a priceless treasure. Maybe we would walk more slowly, listen more carefully, love more deeply and laugh more often. Maybe we would be slow to anger and quick to love. If a war meant dying forever, never seeing your sons or daughters or family again, maybe then it would not seem so heroic and noble.
My challenge to you is this. For the next week think about your life as being from now till the day you die and nothing beyond that point. Today or tomorrow could be your last day...forever. How do you want to "live " it?
