Good Morning God,
There were headlines last week that asked the question "Do the Dead Greet the Dying". Another way to look at this is the question "Do the dying have glimpses of their loved ones" or of other things we might refer to a "heaven" or even "hell"? Lord, you know, and we can believe that you have given us the gift of somehow being able to see, and usually be encouraged by, what lies ahead of us in our dying and death.
We are assured by your Word that our life here, even though seventy, eighty, ninety or even a hundred years, is only a tiny, tiny fraction of the life in eternity we will experience. We are also assured that when we die with our sinfullness forgiven through belief in Jesus Christ that we will spend eternity with you and Jesus and the angels. So Lord, even though our end-of-life time is most often a mystery, we do have the hope and the promise that when we die loving you, you (and probably our loved ones) will greet us warmly and lovingly.. May we believe and understand this more fully.
In Jesus name, Amen.
