I think your 30th birthday is one of those really memorable moments in life. Mine sure was. I spent the evening at a morgue. Why? Well I was doing ministry training at the time and part of our practical pastoring course was handling funerals and bereavement.
For the first time I was confronted with death in a non-emotional way and my eyes were truly opened to the fact that our bodies are simply a vessel that transports the true essence of who we are.
That is that we are first a Spirit, we have a Soul and we live in a Body. This reality should change the way we live. When we can see that true life never ends we should become more focused on God's eternal plan for our lives and think less of short term problems that surely will pass.
Take hope and faith in this, that Jesus said in John 11 that he... IS... the resurrection and the life and those that believe in him will never die.
