Hi, Neari
God bless you
I am Bill, pleased to meet you
in my dream, Angel looked really sick. And she died. And this guy told me it was my fault because I had been trying to get her to fly.
Well, if the bird is becoming less able to fly, it can be harmful to try to force her to fly. But may be there are exercises and stretches which could help to restore her abilities, but gently doing this. I don't know. But, yes, if you just push her, this could be damaging. And . . . of course . . .
if you were to throw her off the roof of a skyscraper, in order to motivate her . . . this might get an opposite effect. So, just be careful and prayerful with her, and appreciate having her. We all grow older and we need to adjust to how our abilities are as we get older; but we can help to keep ourselves in as good condition as possible, instead of just accepting difficulties and getting upset and downcast > in older age, we can mature more in how to please and submit to God and love any and all people and be His example of this, for younger people so they can see the value of preparing to do well in more mature age.
I thought about how my loved ones will die someday, and I got scared that, since I'm the youngest, I'd die last.
We can't say exactly when we will die. Younger people do die first. Also, we need to become strong in Jesus so we do not fear death > Jesus so suffered and died for us so He could deliver us from the bondage of
"fear of death" (Hebrews 2:14-15). So, it is important that we become strong in God's love with immunity against fear (1 John 4:18); because fear is cruel and does not love us; and in God's love, instead, we can be creative with God to do the good that we can do, in spite of death and any evil >
"Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." (Romans 12:21)
I can't bear the thought of losing my family before they've developed a bond with Christ.
If we know that we can spend eternity with Jesus, this is so we have hope . . . not so we live in misery about how a number of people feel Jesus is not good enough for them. Yes, there are people who feel they don't need Jesus; and they even feel they are too good for Him. But Jesus is not conceited; Jesus is God's own Son; yet, Jesus left Heaven itself and came here on this earth in a human body, in order to reach us and share with us . . . even having hope for people who despise Jesus.
Jesus on the cross suffered like He did and died with hope for any wrong person, at all.
So, Jesus wants you to appreciate having Him, and have hope for your family, and be their good example. Example can be very convincing and God uses our good example. So, God bless you
and know you have all of us who are also reaching to and caring for your family. You are not on your own, Neari.
Already, my dad works so hard everyday, and he is sick, tired and over 50 years old. My mom is growing white hair, she's over 50 as well. And my brother doesn't really take care of himself. He's an adult, but he doesn't eat healthy and stuff like that.
So, learn from the mistakes of others ! ! !
There were many people who did not want Jesus, and they hurt their own selves. But Jesus kept on to help anyone who did want Him. Be there for your family, but you can adopt others as your Jesus family. God's love is adoptive, Neari
As we grow in loving, we adopt more and more people with our care for them, and ones even become Christians so we can share as family in our Heavenly Father's way of loving. You can read in the Bible how we are called to love, including >
"And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)
I kept crying because it's unbearable to think about the ones you cherish facing horrible pain after death.
Each of us will reap what we have been sowing > Galatians 6:7-8. If we have become strong in God's love, His love will make us so we can not be effected by painful things. More and more, the cruel things of our past can not get the better of us. But in selfish loving, only for family and other favorites, we stay in weakness so we can keep suffering now, and after death become able to suffer even more when we won't be able to use pleasures to try to make us feel nicer. So, now is the time to trust in Christ and get real in God's way of loving >
"For if you love those who love you, what reward have you?" (in Matthew 5:46)
If our family loved ones do not trust in Jesus and get their character corrected by God, their own selfish nature will make them weak so they can suffer so much. So, it is not enough to just try to use Jesus to get a ticket to Heaven, but we need to actively seek our Heavenly Father to truly correct us, the way Hebrews 12:4-11 guarantees He does with us who are His children. God's grace succeeds in doing this in us, because He so loves us and does not fail.
And our beautiful dove, Angel, is growing old, but I love her so much.
If anyone has been truly good for you, Neari > after that person dies or goes somewhere else, that person will keep on being good for you, even more and more, because God will keep using a truly beneficial person to keep doing you good. I have people who still help me with their example, and I don't even know where they are, now
And in God's love we keep adopting more and more Jesus family people to share with; all God's children are your own fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters and daughters and sons, Neari. We have
"the Spirit of adoption" (Romans 8:15).
And, yes, of course we get into more and more special and intimate sharing with our Jesus family people, so we cherish them but also we share with them in all their hard and even horrible situations. And ones of these so dearly loved people will die before we do. So, we need to become strong in God's love so we can keep on doing well while we take care of all our adopted family, and not be broken by how ones will die and all will have various troubles to deal with. God's grace makes us so we can have hope and love and joy, even, in spite of how this evil world would destroy us. Evil is so contrary, that evil works to keep us from having hope in God and enjoying Him. So, we need to be so . . . no matter what . . . we keep God first and appreciate and enjoy Him, but first we are about pleasing Him, not only getting people and things to please and satisfy us.
Only God's grace can bless us to succeed in this. And you can feed on however your pastor's sermons can help you with this.
