"For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed but to be clothed, so that what is mortal will be swallowed up by life." -II Corinthians 5:4 (NASB)
Losing a loved one is difficult. Whether the loss is anticipated or unexpected, the feelings and questions are painful. Loss can also make us think about our own limited time on earth. Even though we know life on earth will not last, we can prepare for a better life in Heaven!
Our lives do not have to be limited to our time on earth. When we pass from this earth, God promises that we will be made whole and granted eternal life with Him. Our life on earth pales in comparison with what our lives will be in Heaven. To prepare for life after earth, we can believe in the sacrifice of Jesus and our salvation through Him. Then, even when we think we are living the fullest on earth, we can be prepared to be swallowed up into a fuller life with God!
Prepare to be swallowed up by accepting the salvation offered through Jesus!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for sending Jesus to save me from my sin. Help me to live my earthly life for You so I am prepared to be swallowed up into a fuller, eternal life with You! Through Jesus, my Savior, I pray, amen.
