What You See When You Stare Death in the Face {Words of Life Wednesdays ~ A Link-Up}

We'd love to hear how God's Word has been nourishing you.}

Death rattled deep for days.

Her breath laboured until the breath of life

in her ceased.

Grandma lived ninety long years.

But, it was still agony to watch death encroach upon

her final days.

*

Clouds parted and the sun beamed radiant on her face as we gathered round her deathbed as she breathed her last breath.

Heavens opened and the spring rain weeped steady as we gathered round her coffin to celebrate the life she lived.

Death, no matter the length of days, never makes sense.

We're forced to look at the depravity of man when we stare death in the face.

But as we gaze, we turn and there is the glorious grace of the Gospel.

*

Words fail when loved ones depart.

But love endures.

Love with outstretched arms offers living hope and eternal life.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us.

Much more then, having now been justified by His blood,

we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him.

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son,

much more, having been reconciled,

we shall be saved by His life.

{Romans 5:8-10}
