Discovering True Peace

Richard Wiman
January 12, 2011

Before I received eternal life I was afraid of dying.

As a child in the 1950s, I was terrified of the thought that the Cubans would launch a nuclear attack on us. Every time the early warning system was tested, I thought it was an attack. I was terrified. I had no idea what would happen to me if I was killed.

Then I discovered how to have eternal life.

Now that I have eternal life, I no longer have a fear of dying.

I found myself in the emergency room of a local hospital one Sunday evening. I had been suffering terrible pain for the past six months and had lost 40 pounds. X-rays were taken, and the doctor came in and told me I had a mass in my abdomen and that I should see a surgeon as soon as possible. He walked out, leaving me alone with my thoughts. It was then that I realized I had no fear of death or dying. I had peace in knowing that when I die, I will go to heaven,

I can't imagine anything better than knowing that if I were to die in the next breath, I would go to be with God in His heaven.
