Death

Death, you know, is not the end.
   It is but a beginning
Of joy and peace, of health and love
   and life without an ending.

Death ,you see,is only hard 
   for those that know not Jesus.
They have not the strength of God
   but only their own weakness.
 
So death, Dear ones,should not be feared
   but welcomed, don't you see?
If Christ is where your hope is,
   with Him is where you'll be.

Nothing that God does is bad.He is good and what He does is good.we die cause we sin and if we didnt die life would have been everlasting pain, think about it.But through God's mercy He gave us a chance to redeem ourselves so that the life that is eternal is full of the Lord's Glory.I see God's love clearly like that.
