Whispers of Life and Death

It whispered to me: "No more for you". I said "No I have so much more to live and to enjoy."

It whispers to me: "It's no use, this is your end". I responded "No I will not leave I have so much more to give"

It whispers to me: "Your life was pre-ordained to end here". I responded "No, I was meant to do so much more than I have already done"

It whispers to me: "You have no choice, you are too far gone already, just let go". I responded "No, I love my wife and my friends and my life and will not leave it"

It whispers to me: "You worked hard, but now it's time to let go, it's over". I responded "No, I cannot let go, I am not finished living yet, I will never give up

Deep from within me came a refreshing whisper "Remember what fear is and what it does" and I remembered.

I whispered: "I work hard and I will rise again and praise Him", it responded "No, you will let go"

I whispered: "I have the choice to live with love and faith and I choose faith", it responded "No, you do not have enough faith"

I whispered: "My life span is not pre-ordained, it is in His hands and He will not leave me", it responded "No, your life is spent and belongs to me"

I whispered: "It's no use you cannot convince me, His truth sustains my resolve". It responded "No, you have no more to give"

I whispered: "No more from you, I will live and enjoy life in the grace of the almighty". It did not respond.
