Some that know me have heard me say skydiving. I guess I figure it would be quick and I can only assume painless. You see I always figure if my chute didn't open I'd just dive headfirst and thank God for taking me home. Of course, the passing while sleeping idea ain't all bad either. Hypothermia wouldn't be too bad. You'd go from insanely cold to asleep and not wake up. I'm sure it wouldn't be great but better than some options.
I don't think anybody wants to die drowning or in a fire. Either of those would suck though I think drowning would be a little quicker. A heart attack would suck as would cancer or any other disease that slowly takes you over.
I have heard of people actually dying from a broken heart. How much anguish would you have to be in? Can you imagine. So emotionally distraught that your body shuts down. I bet before it does your mind would be reeling with all kinds of thoughts of regret, shame, fear, loneliness etc. The ache in your stomach would grow and grow with no relief. That would be my last choice for sure.
I am glad I don't get to choose. I am not afraid to go for when I do I will meet my savior face to face. I only hope I go out praising Him with my final breath and that if I am remembered, it is for His glory.
Psalm 51:17 My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise
Psalm 57:7 My heart, O God, is steadfast, my heart is steadfast; I will sing and make music
Psalm 61:2 From the ends of the earth I call to you, I call as my heart grows faint; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.
Psalm 62:8 Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever
I have on more than one occasion given up. I have given up on God and life at different times. I have told God to take a hike and other times have begged Him to take me home. I am still here and while I am I will praise Him and serve Him. I will fail but I will get up again. Psalm 73:26 My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever
