I might have said the same at one time but God has made Himself
very clear to me.
Story time....When I was in high school I was sitting at home
one day sewing. My sister came in the room and laid on my
shoulders. I asked her to move and she refused. I told her to
move and like siblings sometimes do, she refused. At this point
I took ahold of her arms and set her off of me. My sister went
running to my father and cried that I had scratched her, showing
him an old scratch that was healing as "proof". My father went
nuts, took off his belt and began beating me with it. If you
had been witnessing that event you probably would have thought
that I was getting the beating of my life, but God and I had a
secret. You see, that day that belt never touched me. God
literally stood between me and that beating. There were neither
marks from the contact nor pain from the contact, the only pain
was the pain of the sins that I had committed that drove Christ
to the cross. That day I literally experienced Isaiah 53 "by
His stripes I am healed".
Just one of many instances that have convinced me beyond any
doubt that God is and that One day I will see Him in all of His
glory.
[/quote]I too have seen enough evidence to convince me that God
is with us and real. In my weaker moments of faith I just worry
if there is no God when I die or sometime after death. It would
be the biggest disappointment ever but I guess we wouldn't know
anything, so nothing to fear.
[/quote]I guess what I have come for understand is that at least
in the here and now I have a purpose for living that I see so
many people don't have....maybe for me at least that is enough
to give glory to God no matter.
[/quote]Amen sister. I have always felt that I'm a child of God
and that I am living for God and because of God. I believe so
strongly that I will tell anyone I meet. That's what drives me
to be on forums and post scripture and Bible study lessons.
Ignorance is a sin believe it or not. Ignorance of God's word
and will, I mean. So many people think they "know enough" and
they think they're saved but they may not be.

your moms death is a long way off yet.

I think I posted my husband's NDE here on this forum. The thing
is my husband was never interested in talking about NDE's or
watching a tv program about it until he had one himself. He
would get up and leave the room if I was watching anything
having to do with NDE's. He would tell me that there was nothing
to it and that it wasn't true. So when he went into cardiac
arrest and it took thirty minutes to revive him, I was
astonished when he started talking about having a NDE when I saw
him in ICU and he was able to speak. And he continued talking
about it after going home. It didn't matter to him whether
anybody believed him or not. That NDE had a profound effect on
him that was plain to see by all the family.
He told me some things that he wanted me to know that he learned
from his NDE. One thing he told me was that he knew he had hurt
some people by his words and actions and he made it a point to
try and find those people and apologize. He even told me that he
knew he had hurt me and he apologized.
He spoke about death and told me that I shouldn't fear death.
That it was like going through a door to a better place. A place
that he didn't want to leave but he did come back. A place where
he was greeted by his younger brother. A place so beautiful
filled with white light and love, joy and peace. He wanted to go
further and beyond into that light but wasn't able to do that
but instead was told that he had to go back.
He said some other things too. So when he passed away in 2000,
the thing that brought me the most comfort was knowing that he
had returned to that place of light that he didn't want to leave
before. He was happy and was where he wanted to be.

Amen. I worry a lot about suffering before death and the manner
in which I'll die.
For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were
dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with
hands, eternal in the heavens.
2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon
with our house which is from heaven:
3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked.
4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened:
not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that
mortality might be swallowed up of life.
5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who
also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.
6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are
at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from
the body, and to be present with the Lord.
9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may
be accepted of him.
10 For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things done in his body,
according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men;
but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made
manifest in your consciences.
12 For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you
occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to
answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
13 For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether
we be sober, it is for your cause.
14 For the love of Christ constraineth us; because we thus
judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead:
15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not
henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for
them, and rose again.
16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea,
though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth
know we him no more.
17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old
things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself
by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of
reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath
committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did
beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye
reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that
we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
