Now that you are alive, you have friends for whom you live, friends who you consider soul mates. You have family for whom you live, who have shared your life; in whose life you share as well.
You, like every normal human being crave company. WE all want to be loved, we crave to love even more. We want to be valued, we also want to pour our lives on someone or on people. The Love we experience here is very powerful, so much so that in marriage its act of consummation (Conjugal Union) gives life to another Living person.
However, in the midst of all the company, beneath all that love lies a certain kind of necessary, unavoidable betrayal. Far from the normal interpretation of betrayal, this one is even more devastating, since at one time, we feel so alone and so abandoned. That moment it death. When we die, we feel detached, torn from all the things we once enjoyed, torn from family, friends, torn from a marital partner whom we love dearly. We feel "Alone", the more we have been pledged eternal "Unending love", the more the pain we shall experience. This pain will be there if we have no friend to walk with us, no hand to hold us, no lips to speak words of love and comfort to us, no shoulder to lean upon when we are weary on our eternal journey. These earthly friends become separated from us in a certain sense. We can no longer share their lives like we used to.
In the midst of all these confusion is a friend whose hands is long enough to reach us even in the underworld, whose feet has walked those paths, whose power conquered the darkness therein, Jesus is his name. If our lives have been one of friendship and service to the Lord, we shall be sure his power and mercy will lead us to our homeland. No friend is more important than Jesus, for at last, when our feet are prepared to walk the longest distance of all, he will be there to walk each step with us.
Why then would someone ever replace pleasing Jesus with pleasing men who have no true love for us? Men who would lie to take advantage of us, men who even though they are faithful to us are unable to keep their promise of "loving you forever" of "always being there" since if we do not die and leave they die and abandon us. Men who would only weep, wipe their eyes and quickly replace us with someone probably better than us.
What a friend we have in Jesus !!!
JESUS COME IN TO STAY, COME INTO MY LIFE LORD JESUS !

Betrayal is not a "necessity." If true love is really there and they are truly loyal, than there would be no betrayal. They would be committed to you no matter how long the road of life is with you and them, or the amount of obstacles in the way. I feel like you are saying that to love is to betray, and that is not what Jesus taught.
ReplyDeleteWell, this is definitely one of the most unusual short compositions I have ever read-and that's the truth. However, there is something in the Holy Bible that I am trying to remember. It's definitely one of the Psalms and the excerpt I remember is something like this: "it is better to trust in God, than in princes, or something like that". But I also interpreted the Bible statement to mean that a person should not ever totally place their complete trust in another person. Yes, there are people who say they love us and then betray us. But there are those who stick with us until we die. Also I did read in a Daily Missal I used to have that everyone dies alone. I think you are not talking so much about friends who remain loyal until death as the fact that in death the tie that family and friends share with you is severed. I think you are describing what happens when you are dying and not so much about infidelity by a spouse. Actually, I don't mean to be overly critical, but the passage is confusing in its ability to convey whether you are trying to describe the moment of death as opposed to the moment of death of a person whose spouse or friend has betrayed them
