"naked i came from my mother's womb, and naked i will depart. the lord gave and the lord has taken away. may the name of the lord be praised." -Job 1:21
my mom's dad died two weeks ago from liver cancer. and it's a really weird situation because i didn't know him at a personal level, but i still tore up inside because i felt sorry for my mom. my grandfather's story is really intersting.
he sorta ran away from home and after 10-15 years, he returned as a changed man. he returned as God's man.. during the few years since his return, he got to know God's word front to back. and then was diagnosed with cancer, had chemo, and died.
God does amazing things. i sorta reflected on how my grandfather lived his life, and i feel comforted that he returned home as a christian man.
job's words.... naked i came and naked i will depart.
we came here. and eventually we must leave this world with nothing but God's grace and mercy. no matter what happened during our stay on earth.
