I'm not sure how people bear up without a strong and secure faith in Jesus. Life is extremely short as it is. How quickly the days turn into weeks, the weeks into months, the months into years. It was only yesterday that we were children. Now we're adults, and time is passing quickly.
Life can be hard, at time, difficult.
And to think that when you die, it's all over. The only attitude that can produce is one of despair. Life without God, thoroughly analyzed, thoroughly considered, can only lead to despair. We only have the power to be Saturday's children if that is where it ends. But thank God that is not where it ends.
