Dear Dude,
We act out of
LOVE! Comparing a few painful years in an institution as a mere
vegetable after a "succesful" CPR event is NOTHING compared to eternity!
John 12:25
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
God knows the numbers of our days. Why meddle with that? As Jesus says above, clinging to life with artificial means leads to the loss of Infinite Bliss in Him!? It is really not that hard a choice to make, is it? In fact, there's actually no choice at all. The only answer is obvious! I choose eternity, I long for it. Any day my somewhat
calcified arteries might burst, an
aneurysm might rupture before the Rapture! My
heart is weary from all the missions and spreading the Gospel. The left
ventricle is too voluminous and the
ejection fraction is low. The pulse rhythm is erratic with
atrial fibrillation. My
cerebral vessels must have plenty of
cholesterol plaques by now. My
eyesight is not as good as it used to be due to hyperglycaemia-induced
revascularization of the retinal vessels. The plaques in the
major arteries of my lower extremeties have given me
claudication. The hardships have brought
insulin resistance with them and even the
arteries of my nether regions are narrowed making my
conjugal relations difficult if not sometimes impossible.
I rejoice in them! They are there as a
legacy of my work for God, work that has included long days and longer nights and stuffing down foodstuffs of high energy content to keep me going, lots of saturated magnificent animal fats Created by our Lord. When these
glorious awards of
Hard Work manifest themselves causing a
stroke or a
heart attack, I sincerely hope no one comes and prevents me from going into everlasting comfort and joy!
John 11:4
When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.
Praise
Jesus for my disease! Thank you,
God. They are
prizes and the
ultimate prize is in Heaven.
Yours in Christ,
Elmer
