Warning: what you are about to read is not happy, turn back now if you don't want to face some serious business: HELL.
No, I am not sad that he is dead.
My heart is mixed. I am happy for America, I am happy (and oh so proud) for all of our troops, who leave their families everyday to defend our freedom.. and for very little pay.
But this is what gets my heart a little... a man, who walked the earth yesterday, is in hell.
I am assuming of course that bin Laden didn't find God before he died. If he did, God would have forgave him... what a guy, that God of ours that no one can sin too much to be saved. I have a feeling though that Osama wasn't lucky enough to ever feel that sweet grace, given so freely.
So, although I am happy that he is gone from this earth I can't find it in me to be happy for bin Laden being in hell. We all have the choice to serve the one and only true God or to serve the god's of greed, pain, terror, money(the list goes on and on). It just hurts my heart to picture bin Laden standing before God and being given his final sentence. Death from this earth was not his punishment, but he will be punished eternally. He may just deserve that. But I still can't bring myself to celebrate it.
A victory for our country, indeed! A victory in Christ... opportunity missed.
Let the death of this evil man make us all realize that hell isn't a place designated for only those as evil as Hitler and Saddam & Osama, although that is a nice thought to think. Your ticket to Heaven was bought and paid for on the cross, but you still have to accept it.
