Dream and vision

In the Young People's Meeting yesterday, we discussed about "Dream and Vision", a topic full of shadow and mystery. We shared our own dreams, which seemed to be some "secrets", while secrets are the issues that you feel too lonely to carry, but also too private to share. Praise the Lord that we still have Him to share our secrets, and lift up our difficulty to Him, the God who promise that "I removed the burden from their shoulders"(Psalm 81:6).

As what I wrote during the last few days, almost all of my dream surrounded two topics: Death and Past. Death has been a big question mark in my heart for many years. It bothered me for a longtime and wasn't solved even after I met Jesus in my life, baptized into a Christian. Sure it doesn't mean that becoming a Christian can solve all life's issue. Becoming a Christian sometimes only means that from now on you have a new life in Lord, as a newborn baby, you just start to learn how to dwell with those issue in a Godly way and biblical perspective.

Yet death defined in Bible is actually transforming into an eternal life in God's kingdom, what do I need to worry about? This is the point, because my faith is too poor to completely trust in God, in honest. I also believe that many people actually avoid to face the fear in their heart, refusing to deeply consider this question in order to be a "Well-behaved Sheep" in front of Lord. Or they just basically ignore it for it can cause a large disaster to their Christian believe built on many year's "hard work".

About "my dream of death" this issue, my conclusion of the solution is to use a spiritual viewpoint to look at it. The dream of death is actually the trap of devil to make use feel strong desire to the life on earth, so finally reject to die, to become the resident of God.
