Do You Have A Fear Of Death?Death and eternity!! NeedEncouragement.com

Please contact us if you have any questions, comments, or encouragement. 

I believe that many people are afraid of death. I can understand that thinking, especially if the person does not know where they will spend eternity or what will happen to them when they die. I am so thankful that when I die, I will go to heaven because God promised in Romans 10:9-10 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.  For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved”.

I did not care about death when I lived in sin, but it was not until God opened my eyes. It is a fact that the end will come to each of us someday. The question is, where will we spend eternity? If you do not have peace about dying because you have never gotten right with God, we hope and pray that you get right with God today. ~ Bill Greguska

Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”

Do You Have A Fear Of Death? NeedEncouragement.com

God has a time for each of us; the question is, are we using the time He has given us wisely?

Death Is The Beginning Of Eternity!

Many people fear death, but death is not to worry about, especially if you know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. I do not fear death, although the thought of suffering is something that I have had to take to the Lord in prayer. Whatever the Lord’s will is, I agree with all my chips.  Some people fear death and dying, but there ought not to be any fear!

 

 

 

 

 

 


Take A Look Back At Your Life, And Where Is It Going?


Bill & Mom with Dog shirts on. Mom's death was more a celebration of her life! NeedEncouragement.com

After taking care of my mom for the last eight years of her life! She lived a good long life of 93 years! Which made saying goodbye to her with her death a natural part of life! 

Mom Did Not Fear Death!

My mom knew the Lord ,and she did not fear death, yet just like me, she was not fond of the idea of suffering in pain, yet she and I both were prepared to do whatever the Lord’s will was going to be.

You have heard it say to keep your fork at the dinner table because the best part is coming: the Desert. When I die, I want to have a fork in my casket to remind others that the best is yet to come, heaven!

My first experience of heaven is, the best yet to come to me, was my best friend, Steve Mader, I was 16 years old, and his death hit me very hard. So hard that it lead me to find so-called comfort in alcohol and drugs. If I had reached out to someone to talk things out, it might not have been so traumatic of an experience that his death brought me.

My mother, Diana Greguska, was another painful death. But my mom lived to be 93, and I had the opportunity to take care of her for the last eight years of her life since she helped me my entire life! You can read more about my mom in a diary that I wrote in honor of her life. ~ Bill Greguska
