Testimonies
Last night my mother passed away. She was in Canberra, Australia and I was here in the Philippines. The pain of not being there with her at her last hour doubled the pain of loss.
The message was sent by my brother through my cellphone and the sight of it as I read the sad news filled my being with numbness, like something, a part of me was "taken away".
God knows that grief can grip our hearts and make us feel choked up, so He blessed our life with tears. Tears are like "leaks" in our bodies that help ease the pain. Tears provide the release of our bottled up grief, so it does not absorb us. Thank God for tears, so I cried.
A day before, I posted a poem "Running the Race" at another site, and in it was the verse, "A man's life is but a breath." We all will lose that breath one day soon, and then we go to where God has destined us to be.
My Mom is not really gone, so I cannot say goodbye. She has began a new life with the Lord. Like all of us who believe in the promises of our Lord Jesus Christ, we have this hope as the anchor of our souls. We live eternity with Him for God is our Resurrection and Life, our final Home.
