Don'T Fear Death - Live With Joy

I was having a vision every time I went to bathroom
I am falling dead
Just didn't know what to do
Prayed to God for a solution
next day heard a distant relative of mine passed away
She fell in bathroom
Maybe it was meant for her.
That image disappeared

Now I am getting a new vision everytime I go to bathroom
Dead body floating in front of me,
Face clear but I don't know the person
Totally upset with this thought for past two days
Mind in turmoil, not able to work with jest

Today finally I decided
I will repose faith in God and stop worrying
What is the maximum that can happen
I might die
Isn't death inevitable, one day it will surely come
Let it come early 
Maybe I will fall and hurt myself, become bed ridden
In that case the same God who gives problems will provide a solution
Let me have faith in him
I am mentally prepared to accept all that may come
I feel peace now

Oh! How much man fears the inevitable?
Death is always lurking around, comes suddenly
We don't think of it so it is manageable

Victor Buhagiar February 23, 2021 at 11:08 PM I'm not sure if it's in the Bible, but invisible on you hand is the day you're born and the day you'll die. Whatever, just live your day. And prepare for might come. Rama Balasubramanian February 24, 2021 at 2:41 AM That is a powerful statement. Inspiring thought, make a monoku out of it. Take care, Rama

Mystic Rose Rose February 23, 2021 at 5:37 PM We never truly know the hour of death, so we may as well live moment by moment, its something we cannot prepare for, only hope of a peaceful passing.Thanks for sharing Rama Balasubramanian February 23, 2021 at 8:15 PM Thanks for your wonderful comments.

Judy Ball February 23, 2021 at 2:50 PM You're vwry right my friend. Why fear that which is a natural part of life. If we are living as God wishes us to live and let Him be a part of our every day life just like any other loved one then we have nothng to worry about. If He is part of our life then He will also be with us in death. We have nothng to fear but fear itself. Faith in God is everything. Good job her.
