I once was real scared of dying at one point of time, to the point that I was afraid to go to sleep, for fear I might not wake up. I’d pray to God everyday to end this fear. Then it finally happened…I had a dream that I died and I saw myself dead. Some people were crying, I could feel their sadness, but not in a bad way. Some had no feelings at all, and were empty, and I felt sorry for them. I laughed when I mentally told the sad people to stop crying, because I thought “it was the best I had ever felt in my whole life” (I knew I was dead). Then I snapped out of it and sat up in bed. I realized that death is not a bad thing, you just move on to another reality of life. My fear went away. I still fear it a little bit, but who doesn’t?
Remember, there are only 2 things that can happen when you die:
1) you die and then there is nothing…hence you won’t know that you are dead.
or…......
2) there is life after death and we go to where ever it is we go.
If you are scared you might end up in hell, then stop doing things that will put you there and start living your life right. God does forgive, you know. Then you should have nothing to fear.
I think that what most people fear, is how they are going to die…whether they will be suffering for a long or short time, and whether it will be really painful or not. The best way to go is going to bed and never waking up, at least not in this world. I think this is the way most people would like to go. But the chances of that happening…..
I think I fear that a comet will hit our planet and I will get stuck in a gridlock (in a spiritual sort of way) on my way to Heaven, and then have to wait in line to get in. LOL
