I have been in many life threatening events the past couple of years, the most recent being last February when I was home alone during an armed robbery. As I was hiding from the danger before me I was pleading with the Lord to save me just a little bit longer for I did not feel that I was ready to leave this earth. I can testify that angels from heaven were present and were shielding me from the serious danger that was in front of me. From that point on I knew that Heavenly Father had saved me for a reason. He needed me on this earth and I try every single day to live like I am dying.
When we were sent here to earth, Heavenly Father sent us with a purpose and mission. The real question is, what are we doing NOW to ensure that our mission is fulfilled when it is our time to go? As we were discussing the mine accident I reflected on my life. Could I honestly have said that I would be ready to die right then?
Life is short and can flash before ones eyes when they are not focused. As we submit our will to the Lords and become one with him, He will help us keep focused in this life and help us understand His purpose for us. We must live every single day like we are dying, as we do this we will not be afraid of death because we will be ready when it is our time to go.
