We know that our time in this world is limited and one day we may never wake up. When it happens to someone we know the feeling is sickly as if you slide, fall quickly to a pool, and felt your half body soaked in cold water to freeze.

For people who are still rolling from a loss the absence of a loved one can cloud their once normal activities for some time. Giving a hand with sympathy is especially needed by grieving people. We do not expect them to get over it in time, but keeping them company with prayers can heal their wounded heart. (Roman 12:15 “Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep”).

In my 30’s & 40’s I felt insuperable and was obsessed with physical fitness. In the decades that follow my prostate difficulty constantly shadowed my normal activities. When I was hospitalized, the urologist diagnosed that I may have a prostate cancer and a quick operation is required. At this point in time, I think more about death & started to cry out for God’s help.

And God is good. The second urologist who examined me said that I have Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH) curable by medication. This new event prompted me to grab the chance of cleansing my conscience by confession to God for forgiveness (1 John 1:9 “If we confess our sins, he is faithful & just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness”). Also, I started to dig deep in the Bible that made me spiritually fit. The payoff to date – I became confident that death is our door to eternal life with Jesus.

Quietly, God does wonderful things for us each day (Isaiah 25:1 “O Lord, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth”). God knows best our ending.
