We're surrounded by death as a gift from God. For it is a gift to be constantly reminded of how much we need Him. We need to constantly remember  - what we call "life" is an illusion  - it's really death, thinly disguised - He is life (I am the Way, the Truth and THE LIFE) - He is the source and sustainer of true life, not this death tge whole world is abiding in, believing they're alive when they're really dead. To be without Christ is to be dead (remembered Jesus said "let the dead bury their dead)....dead eternally and in every other way. So every time we see death, be it a bug, a flower, an animal or a human, it should cause us to cry out to HIM  O God! Save me! I need You desperately!  O Death, where is thy sting? My God has defeated you for all eternity! Selah.
