The Glory or Suffering of Death
This is sort of a personal thing to me. I was talking to a friend that I won't name here. And he mentioned that someone told him that when he would die, if he met God, then he would be ok, and then could change his mind and viola, he would convert and be on his way to heaven. This really bothered me that someone would tell him this, and that someone would believe this. The situation was stuck in my mind for awhile, so one night I could take no more of this. And I came up with something like this:
We'd all like to believe that when we die and confront God, we'd have one last chance to confirm, declare, who or what, we believe. That way we know we're safe and sound no matter what happens to us. Right? Truth is, we've been given more than enough moments and chances in life to choose whether we believe in Him or not. God loves each and every being on earth, so much, that he gives us the freedom to do as we please, however wrong or right they are. He would absolutely love for everyone to believe in Him. He has the power to do immense things. But he gave us the freedom to make our decisions of who, and what, we believe in, until the day we die.
You can end your life in two different ways. One can be a death sentence. You will be where evil lurks no matter which way you turn, where you run. But thats just it, you can't run, you can't hide, its everywhere. Sin is the number one holiday, belief, acceptable thing. All the burdens that of which you had on earth will be even greater here. You will never be happy, and if you are, its not pure happyness, but an eerie, evil happyness. No... Happyness is no such word there. It's only evil, haunting laughter. You will not be free to do as you please, go as you please. You will be forever taunted by demons, creatures, and the underscribably evil, sinister, Satan himself. You will be chained, locked up and abused. Congratulated for having chosen them instead of the One feared by all, yet mocked all the same. There is no such thing as nightfall or sunrise there. It is dark all year round, all the time, as long as this place exists. You will never again see the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that every being somewhere in his or her lifetime looks forward to seeing. The air you breathe will be thick and suffocating, not what one would want in the lungs. Fire would burn in the air, it will burn your soul. It will be painful, gruesome. It will be the worst place to ever be in. It will be worse than what its like on earth. You will go through hell for eternity. This place, in fact, is Hell itself.
You can end your life in two different ways. The other way is the rewarding death those who know of look forward to without worry of a death sentence. Evil will be unseen in this place of rewarding. It will be unseen because it wil be no more. All the burdens that of which you had on earth will be forever forgotten. You will feel calm, at ease, no feeling of negativity can pull you down ever again. No doubt, no question, no uncertainty, no despair, no guilt, no feeling of worthlessness, because you are in God's Palace. You will be free to frollick in the beautiful hillsides, watch the sunrise be painted with uncountable colors. No chains will hold you down. You will see no one there punished, ashamed of, abused, mocked at, anything that would occur from below. Laughter will be a popular site to see among the rewarded souls. Singing would consist of many versions. High key, low key, off key. No one will worry about the off key singers, for they are praising to the One all the same. For an off key singer to get the attention of those distracted would almost seem selfish. He doesn't care how you sound, all He cares about is that they are singing. The air you breath will be fresh, and sweet perfume. It will be like sucking fresh oxygen into you after running out of breath. The streets will be of gold. It is not meant to set off the feeling of greed, for greed will be quite usless. It is a beauty to be seen. The feeling will be smooth and soft to touch. The grass the greenest and softest one will ever see. Anyone can run through it barefoot carefree. The wind will be soft to the skin, running softly through your hair. The holidays will consist of rejoicing, praising, loving, kindness, and peace at heart. It will be painless, lively, beautiful. It will be the best place to ever be in. It will be much better than what its like on earth. You will go through glory for eternity. This place, in fact, is Heaven itself.
So, be careful what you wish for. Be careful what you pray. Be careful what you believe. Don't assume what's correct until you read the ultimate evidence to find the answers. The Word. Remember, you have your whole life to make a choice, to follow One or the other. But don't wait in deciding, for you don't know when your life will ever end. Don't wait... Just believe.

very compelling. in fact, more vivid than any description of heaven and hell that i have ever read/heard. it is definitely a choice very man, woman, and child must make in his/her life. while we do not behave as God wants at all times, we should strive to by way of believe God's gift of His Son and by us accepting that gift into our hearts. it is a tough road, but by handing our trust over to Him, it is reassuring to know that though we will mess up a lot in our lives, we can still fellowship with God after we leave here. what better way to spend eternity! i screw up a lot, but accepted God's gift a decade ago, so i know He will help me and that i will get to see Him someday :)
