Don’t Be Afraid

Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

“Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.

Matthew 10:28-33

All the emotional preparation in the world cannot brace us for the stark reality of goodbye. Death is such an indignity!

“Not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.”

Death is the last shadow before heaven’s dawn.
