Be Not Afraid In God's HandsShe also wrote a poem that Sergei has allowed me toprint:Beloved Sergeiyou may find this as hard to readas I found it hard to writebut I had to write iteven though it may be many yearsbefore you will need itI may outlive you althoughI can’t see how I could live without youonly God knows our hourbut if my time comesGod willing please be nearand tell me that it is the endand ask me if I’m ready to meet my makerand hold my handpray for forgiveness of my sinsand pray for peace for my souland I’ll pray for comfort for yoursand fight for you and love youthrough all eternity.As a cliché, “live dangerously” evokes rash judgmentsand risks taken on a whim. But as Sergei and Adela’sshort marriage shows, that is not all there is to it.101
Be Not Afraid In God's Hands<strong>The</strong>re is something deadening about going throughlife cautiously – testing the water, toeing the line. Butthere is nothing as exhilarating as living it to the full.It requires rising to challenges that come your way,rather than evading them; sticking out your neck,instead of hiding in the crowd. It means daring to takefalse steps – and leaps of faith. And the reward, as wehave seen, is calmness in the face of death.To believe that one is in God’s hands, and to drawcomfort from that belief, is a gift – and not only forthe dying, but for those who mourn them after theyare gone. But what about those whom death overtakeswithout such reassurance? And what about thosethey leave behind, whose grief is compounded by theworry that the one who died was not ready to go?Especially in cases of divorce or separation, parentchildestrangement, and soured friendships, it is notunusual to encounter fear on the part of those who liveon. Where did my ex-husband (or mother, father, son,or daughter) go? Is he with God?Often, this fear is not limited to worries about wherethe dead have gone. Believers may wonder how theywill fare in the last judgment; nonbelievers may fearthe unknown. As a counselor and pastor, I know thatfar more people grapple with these questions than one10
