a sweet departure

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints.- Psalm 116:15

We will definitely mourn at the moment of their departure...when they exhale their earthly life and find themselves face to face with Christ. We will absolutely miss the good times we had with them, the time when we were praising the same God who appointed their homecoming. We will almost feel helpless for a moment, acknowledging the fact that we have no power over the tenure of our existence...and then coming to a realization that the sovereign God of this universe has decided to exercise mercy and still keep us alive even after all our disobedience towards Him. We will then understand, that our griefs will not last long since we know that their condition at this very moment is exponentially better than what they had here on earth.

God has His perfect way of calling back His saints...it may seem unfair to the people left behind, but then who can question the sovereignty of the omniscient Deity who has created us? Remember the fallen saints...keep good memories of their existence...don't worry about them...because they're definitely enjoying themselves on the biggest after party ever...hosted by the Father Himself!
