When I Am Gone

If my life was to end today, Jesus was my all.

When I Am Gone
Melchisedec Adobah

What can I say? I lived the best life, I enjoyed every moment I had. I lived the best life anyone could possibly live. If this is being read, then I am no more. Here is one thing I want everyone to know; Christ was my everything. From the rising of the sun to its setting, Christ was my life. He fulfilled my life with dreams and aspiration and love. Because of him I loved and I could not stop loving.

To my family, don’t mourn because I died, rather rejoice that my life was Christ-centered. See when the world gave up on me, when everyone saw the worst in me, my heavenly father saw the best in me. I woke up every morning and was glad because it is a new day that the lord has made and I will rejoiced in it. I say rejoice in my absence. I lived without regret and Jesus never left my side. See, a thousand feel to my side, ten thousand to my left but it never came near me and this was my heavenly father’s doing. And I beg of you, don’t ever question God why I was taken away from you but mourn and worship. Worship like never before.

Friends from all walks of life, I am glad that I had the privilege to call some of you brothers and sisters. You were able to point me to Christ and call out on my sin. You made me want to get up in the morning and I enjoyed every minute of it. It was an honor to have dwelt amongst you, laughed with you, wept with you, rejoiced with you, played with you.

To all the strangers here that I never met, thank you for being here to help my friends and family during this tough time, and I am forever grateful because I am with my heavenly father forever. See my life revolved around finding my identity and approval in others. I was always trying to fit in some place somewhere but then I encountered this Jesus guy and he changed my life forever. He made me realize that I am the best version of me and no one could ever be like me. Through this Jesus guy I saw the full effect of my sin and I saw what grace meant. I got the honor of being called the child of the one true King. I had a community that loved me unconditionally and that showed me Christ’s love for me.

Don’t mourn my death, rejoice and never stop rejoicing. Never stop investigating this Jesus guy. Live every day like it is your last. Love, share the little you have, be kind to one another. Help someone in need, be compassionate and allow Jesus to pursue you.

Above all, when you are tempted to give up, lookup and fix your eyes on Jesus.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
