Your End Has Come
Pop! The sound of a gun going off.
The impace of a bullet hits with a force like the wind being knocked out of you.
The smell of smoke encompasses the very breath around you.
The tears that run down your face are salty to the taste.
The darkness of night cloaks the eye,
Allowing the murderer to escape into the shadows.
You listen, there are sirens, but the are too far away.
As death encloses around you, it begins to strip you of the very senses you enjoy.
Your life is now a motion picture running through your mind.
As death continues to enclose around you,
You feel the shocking, shivering, sickening coldness that is its companion.
The senses that earlier screamed at you to keep fighting, become more dense.
Your breathing becomes labored and very shallow.
As the final moments of death totally encapsulate you, your heart finally stops beating.
The pain is finally over, the sirens have arrived, but alas they are too late.
In the Bible in 1 Corinthians 10:13 we find: There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it. But what might seem as a contradiction is found in Alma 13:28 But that ye would humble yourselves before the Lord, and call on his holy name, and watch and pray continually, that ye may not be tempted above that which ye can bear , and thus be led by the Holy Spirit, becoming humble, meek, submissive, patient, full of love and all long-suffering; So, which is it? Either God tempts you to a point and stops, or you have to actively pray not to be tempted beyond that no return point. Which is it?
