"But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah." -Psalm 49:15, KJV.

I used to be so afraid of death, especially before my salvation at age 15. Now, I don't fear it, but instead, I know it is simply the entrance to eternity. As a Christian, I know that whenever God calls me home, it will be fine and will be His will. God knows what is best for me and those around me, and I know He won't leave anyone truly alone or helpless. God has a way of providing for others, and I can rest in knowing that God will take care of my family if anything were to ever happen to me. Now, don't misunderstand me. I'm not doing anything to hasten that day, but I don't have to live in fear of death.

"Death be not proud...thou shalt die." -John Donne in "Death Be Not Proud."
