My mother in law died today at 1:05 pm. It was the first person I have ever actually seen die. She was surrounded by family and friends–Death itself is an amazing process. The thing I noticed most or will remember about this experience –My wife’s comment– Did you noticed the room change. With her last breath it was as if a vacuum had removed something from the room. This was a saved women who loved the lord very much.
God declares that “all souls are Mine.” “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you”. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. God says, All souls are Mine and I am able to make them stand. God looks at death entirely differently than we do. We look at death as the absence of brain waves or heartbeat, separation of soul and body. God sees death only as the separation of a soul from Him (i.e when that soul has rejected him.) To the believer there will never be the separation of a soul from God. In other words, people can live their lives as dead people. God has no pleasure in death. That is why He sent His son to give us the gift of eternal life.
God bless you Bonnie and happy death day. Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise, He will wipe every tear from your eyes, and death will be no more, neither shall there be mourning, crying, or pain.
