There’s a story about a little wave bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time, enjoying the wind and the fresh air — until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. ‘This is terrible,’ the wave says. ‘Look what’s going to happen to me!’ Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and says to him, ‘Why do you look so sad?’ The first wave says, ‘You don’t understand! We’re all going to crash! All of us waves are going to be nothing! This is terrible?’ The second wave says, ‘No, YOU don’t understand. You’re not just a wave, you’re part of the ocean.’
So, when you worry about your own mortality, remember that the Bible says: ‘No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him.’
