All the things of the world to hold us down. So let us be preoccupied with what is coming after death, which is judgment.
If you are reaching to a point in life where you are told that you are going to die soon, you should not allow it while you are dead. You should be a part of hope because we have lived a good life on earth and we are going to meet our father in heaven.
We must not allow anything to depress us or hold us down or stop us from living a peaceful life here on earth. We must gather ourselves so our story will not end here on earth. We still have more hope about things on earth then. Let us not be held down by the suffering of this world. They are just temporary.
Philippians 4 vs 17 and the peace of God which passes all understanding will keep you, your understanding, will keep your heart and your mind in Christ Jesus.
We must trust on the faith of God. We must believe in him that Jesus is able to set us free from all anxiety and pain. We must understand and be glad in receiving the hope God has given us. To die in Christ is to live forever and to have an eternal life.
