Death Comes to All
 
Death is a stranger to no one
It seems it always hits when you least
Expect, that must be why it is viewed as a tragedy
It doesn’t care who it leaves behind
It doesn’t care about the motherless or the fatherless
Death has no respect for anyone
It can come suddenly or it can come expectedly
The one thing that we do know is that we must never take
Life for granted because it can all be gone with one less breath
One less heartbeat that brings us to our knees
It can break us or it can make us appreciate life more
We can wallow in self pity or we can learn to love and forgive because life is short
We can hang on to our faith with every inch of our being believing in the Father, Son and Holy Spirit that we will be united with our loved ones when death comes to call, or we can fall into the fiery abyss that we know as hell. We all know one thing that death comes to all. There is only one way to escape its claws is to believe that Jesus is the Son of the living God that died for our sins without this belief we will not only go to the grave but we will be tormented through eternity. Jesus is the light and the way to eternal life it doesn’t matter how good of a life you lived it matters what you believe. All good deeds can turn bad with one mistake thank God for forgiveness and new life.
