The way the world works and the similarity between our lives and that of a flower is one that can not be missed. We make plans everyday make commitments spanning months and at times years demonstrating Hope and faith beyond what most of us even voice out that we have. At the height of the execution of these plans…suddenly life is cut short. Breath is gone. Plans come to a halt. The things that have been promised can no longer be fulfilled. It all just stops!
This is the way of life the only variation is that for some people we expect it because they have run their course and fulfilled their life. For others, it is totally unexpected for the are still in the prime of life. Just getting to the point where they express their talent and begin to make their impact.
It is rarely good news when someone dies. Solace is found in God when we know him. It is more important when the affected person is young. Even when the person is old, we can look to the one and only wise God. The righteous one that will always do right. We can’t always explain his reasons or interpret his actions but we know that He is with us. He upholds us when we are weak. He strengthens us in our affliction and at his appointed time, we will fully understand his grace and mercy upon us in this life.
It is important to have a relationship with God, to forsake ones sins and seek the Almighty God, before the importance of the action is called out.
