I’m not going to bore you with a long drawn out list of reasons why the world sucks, why everybody besides me is bad, or anything like that. Â I won’t do that because that’s not the reason I want to die. Â I want to die because of what I believe is next.
I believe that when a person dies, Death comes for them. Â This isn’t your grandma’s grim reaper. Â She’s a beautiful, kind woman whose sole purpose of existence is to comfort you and take you where you are headed. Â Though you think you’ve never met her, you can feel that the two of you are long-time friends. Â She is the reason – I want to see her.
What’s next? Â It’s completely up to you. Â Some people think they deserve to go to hell, and won’t take no for an answer, so that’s where she takes them. Â Others want to go to fluffy-cloud, pearly-gate heaven. Â Some are reincarnated. Â Where will I go? Â I’m going to a paradise of a sort where I’m what we would call god. Â I’ll be free to create anything, have anything, BE anything that I could possibly want or imagine, forever. Â I could even incarnate myself and live again.
So, do you think I’m crazy? Â Do you think this is any less of a reason to want to die than emotional pain? Â No matter. Â Death comes for us all the same. Â Enjoy her.

Hey, I can imagine that you have had some experiences that have caused you to question whether this life is really worth living or not. And I’m sure you have had many thoughts/questions about existentialism. & You know what? That’s good news. The fact that humans are wired to be purpose-driven.. to want to have a sense of hope and purpose, to want to know the reason for their existence.. testify to the existence of something more. Death does come for everyone of us the same, and that is because we are all sinners the same (the wages of sin is death) and because we are all meant for something greater than just this world. You need to have hope. You want to believe in something worthwhile. You want to feel loved unconditionally. & God has strategically left Himself as the ONLY place where you will find those things – throughout life, unconditionally. We all also have a conscience.. we experience feelings of guilt when we feel that we have not done the right thing. & Not one of us can say, “I have never sinned.” You instinctively know that you are a sinner. And when you come to terms with this, you realize your need for a savior. Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins and paid your debt. If ONLY you BELIEVE in Him, you can be redeemed of your sins and enter into a personal relationship with God. God fulfills like nothing/no1 else can. God is in control and is all-powerful. He loves, comforts, provides.. Experience how real He is. You just cannot spend all of your life asking questions and in uncertainty. Choose Him today. So much love, so many blessings, so much hope, truth, available for you while you are here on this earth that make life so worth living for. Let God into your life.

I already found a God. It just happens that he is a she, and that she gives life and ends it. Really, how is this any different from Christianity, etc? When you die, you go somewhere good. In fact, this is way more kind than anything else – this ‘religion’ doesn’t send trillions of people who were alive before Christianity was invented to Hell.
Christianity isn’t about having a religion 🙂 It’s about the need for a Savior. God addresses the times before Jesus came to earth to show the way and give his life on the cross – paying the debts of sin for all believers past, present, and future. The Bible talks about how God will set apart believers from non-believers, etc. If walking with God was about just choosing some religion for the sake of believing in a God, I wouldn’t find it worth my time and dedicating my life to. There is a God who is real, the only God – He is awesome and almighty. The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus Christ died for your sins and made a way for you to enter into a personal relationship with the perfect, holy, righteous God.. from Whom we would’ve been separated from by our sinful nature because God, being holy, cannot embrace sin. We are saved only by Christ. And it’s about being in a personal relationship with the God of the universe, and falling in love with Him.. And trusting and obeying Him day by day. The joy, fulfillment, peace, relentless love.. these are NOT just words, they are soul-stirring truths. I can testify to the ways in which He is working in me and my life, because He is so real. This is what Christianity means to me.. it is not just another religion because that is far from the point! Please do not miss the centrality of the gospel! <3
