Listen. I haven’t tried to die, so I can’t explain what I don’t know. But this is what I’m trying to say: there is a struggle in that moment of death. All hope is almost lost. And suddenly, it is clear that this person is about to die. Saint Augustine said, “We yearn for the Lord.” That yearning for God may come fully to you. At that moment, you have no more hope of anything other than the God who made you, who you are now about to see face to face, whose judgment will be passed on you. So you are trying to grip on this, where you belong. And then you start searching for God. You are ready for Him. You want to receive him. You want to be with Him because that’s your inner yearning, the only thing that will fulfill you.

Ecclesiastes 9:7, “Go eat your bread with enjoyment and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.” Listen. It is only when God approves what you do that you can be happy. Some of us take it the other way around. But God approves, and then happiness comes. In my development work, when a donor gives a gift of a water well to…

Be Slow To Anger
Proverbs 14:29. “He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.” Some of us who are hot tempers who have not been able to control our anger in some situations have seen the disadvantages of it. A hot temper and not controlling your anger have led many people to do things that they will regret…

Love Does Not Seek It’s Own Interest
Love does not seek its own interests. Put God first, then put others, and then put before yourself. If like, if you’re married and you treat your wife like a queen, if you treat her like a queen, surely you will get a king’s reward. In the first place, that means that you appreciate, and she herself will reciprocate. The same thing if you’re a…
