"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope." Jeremiah 29:11<br /> <br /> "And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction/Pavin’ a road to nowhere/Pour your life out for nothin"- The Background by Lecrae


it is coming

it may be found in the blinding headlights of an oncoming car

or flames that lick your body

or a shaky breath on a hospital bed

that last moment is coming 

the moment when death holds out her arms and smiles

and you pause, poised before the leap

but you will leap.

you will because you have no choice

when death holds out her arms, you must leap.

and yet,

some leap fearlessly

some leap and laugh, because they know where they are leaping to

they are not leaping into an abyss of death and night and cold

they are leaping into home

the home God has created for His followers

and death is no longer a nightmare, she is a friend

Please don't read this piece and move on, thinking, "This isn't for me, I have years left to live." You may not. You may have two hours. Where are you going when you die? John 3:16
