Death is coming

The closer death creeps up upon me the less I am able to understand the reasons for life or living.

Yes I have experienced a close family member dying and unlike television it takes decades to handle such a thing. To think I am going to put my family through such a thing when I finally leave is more horrific to me than the thought of death itself.

My life was and is still a learning experience but when all said and done what am I to do with all this accumulated learning over my lifetime if I just die. There is no logic or reason to this.

Long ago I became aware that the God story that is sold to the majority is just a nice story to give mankind with a message of a basic layout of how nice life could be if everyone followed these ideas. Not many in life do and if one thinks about it the good and evil structures actually depend on each other. The good that can be experienced in life is only understood as good when there is it's opposite to compare it to. This is not rocket science only common sense in reality. I am not saying we need to experience bad but understanding in it is needed to appreciate the great things many of us can have in our lives. From birth to death there are many ways mankind helps his fellow man. How many ways can you help?

The Bible is a wonderful source of knowledge on so many issues and friendship is not any different. The Bible shows us how to choose friends and how also to deal with our friends.

Proverbs 14:6-7 A scoffer looks for wisdom in vain, but knowledge is not difficult for a man of understanding. Leave the existence of a fool, for there you don't meet words of knowledge. There are numerous Bible passages that caution us to select cautiously in choosing our friends. The Bible states we must seek the wise and state away from the existence of a fool? So why do you think this really is? Yes, we're easily influenced by our friends and bad friends could have a damaging influence on our walk with Christ. So, just how do you identify who is wise. The wise people and friends to select from are those that aren't wise in the world's eyes but wise in God's eyes. Choose friends that study their Bible and can help share the truth they found in it with you.

Romans 12:10 Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo each other in showing honor.

Even as have selected our friends we have to know very well what the Bible says about how precisely to deal with our friends. How would you currently treat your friends? Treat them how you might want to be treated and don't expect something back in return.
