Are you ready?

A few days ago I learned about the deaths of two former classmates of mine.I guess every bone in my body took it the hard way because I was freaked out and very devastated. It's just really sad when young people die. It makes you wonder what is so important about you that you're still living and it sort of helps you set your priorities straight. It is true that we are all going to die someday and to be quite honest, I'm not afraid of death...I'm just more afraid of the people I'd leave behind when I'm gone.
An extreme paranoia tends to come over me when people around me starts dropping dead like fishes. I find myself in this state of negativity; I start feeling like something bad is going to happen to me. I hate this thoughts and sometimes I can't help myself...I know this is the devils way of instilling fear in me, but I'm not going to let myself succumb to his stupid tactics because I know my God has not given me the spirit of fear!
I guess the one question left to ask yourself is, would you be ready when the Lord comes for you?
Don't live your life in fear...make everything in your world right, so that when the time comes, you'd have nothing to worry about, but a very joyous expectation of living and dining with the king of kings :)
