Have you ever seen good come out of suffering for your friends or family?

They gamble for my clothes
and divide them among themselves.

~Psalm 22:18

 

not that I can think of right now.

Describe what you believe happens after you die. Is this a frightening or encouraging picture to you?

because you protect me from the power of death.
I have served you faithfully,
and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.

~Psalm 16:10

 

I believe that our souls go to heaven.  We feel no pain or sorrow and that is a very encouraging picture to me.
