Everything is a shadow.
Today marks the 5th year of my father’s bodily passing.
In my selfishness yes of course I’m sad and think the what ifs.
In my correct thinking. I know this is all a shadow of what’s to come whether we want to believe it or not. Whether we want to deny the Sun comes up in the morning and sets in the evening it will be so.
We are not promised tomorrow let alone the next 5 seconds in this life. Who are we to think we have control. Relinquishing this idea actually becomes freedom. On the contrary to what people think, understanding that there is a creator and this isn’t all for nothing is a peace only Christ Jesus can reveal. We are sinners in need of grace and mercy. Jesus did come to earth to die for our sins. He really did get buried in a tomb for 3 days and come out alive. He really did ascend in front of eyewitness’s and he really is coming back. It is true those who believe in him will have eternal life the thing everyone’s hearts long for. Everything really is shadow of what’s to come.
Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity.* All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.
13 Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is love (1 Corinthians 13:12–13, NLT
