DEATH

Ya I know, kind of a bad topic. I never really thought about if someone who died was going to heaven or not. But now I wonder. Take my dad for example. He's getting up there in age. I know someday he will die. But I don't know if he will go to heaven. Is he a good dad? Yes. Husband? Yes. Good person? Yes. But did he accept God as his Savior? I don't know. Should I ask him? Ya, I don't think so.



Someone else I know is dying of cancer. Is she going to heaven? I don't know. Is she a good person? Yes. But again I don't know if she has accepted the Lord as her savior. I guess I can only pray that they will. I don't think my prayers can overide Gods word, but I don't think it can hurt.



I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you know someone has accepted God, it seems like it's easier to deal with them dying. But could someone who you think has not accepted Him really have accepted Him and you don't know it?



Take me for example. What if one night while sitting in front of a fire, in my back yard, drinking beer as I was talking to God I accepted Him as my savior? No one other than me and God would have known. That doesn't mean I wouldn't be saved, just means people would be surprised to see me in heaven.



So for me I guess ignorance is bliss. And I hope I am the most surprised person in heaven!



God Bless!
