Ecclesiastes 3:11 – “He has made everything beautiful in it’s time. Also, He has put eternity in their hearts…”
From the time we are born into this world, our spirit begins it's eternal journey. Our body is perishable like the caterpillar, which is born in a body that lives by eating, working to eat, sleeping and then it starts all over again. Ecclesiastes 2:24 – “Nothing is better for a man that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor.”
Like the caterpillar, we change when we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior. Our spirit and soul is no longer moving towards an eternal perishing but towards an eternal life. II Timothy 2:19 – “Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: The Lord knows those who are His, and let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”
As Christians, our eternal life does not begin at death but at the time we accept Jesus as our salvation. We are sealed just as the caterpillar seals himself into his cocoon until it’s time; we are sealed until our time of release when our body perishes and ceases to live in this world, but our spirit continues it's Journey of Life. The one you miss terribly has been freed from the cocoon of this world and has been transformed into a beautiful new glorified body just as a caterpillar transforms into a beautiful butterfly.
Nehemiah 8:10 - “Do not sorrow, for the Joy of the Lord is your strength.” As you look at this scripture, the words read; “The Joy of the Lord is your strength.” Receive your strength from the Lord’s Joy. It gives Joy to the Lord to bring one of His children home. Let His Joy be your strength and to comfort you during your loss. "To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under the sun. A time to be born and a time to die."
He truly has made everything beautiful in it’s time - even death.
