The Price of Wearing Flesh

We all pay a price by entering into this flesh. Not a single one of us is immune to the cost. None of us can escape the toll. It does not matter whether you are rich or poor, black or white, man or woman; the price for living this life is death. I use words like pay, and price, and cost, and toll, and rich, and poor because they are words that properly describe the horror of our current condition. We do not realize that this world and this life have pulled us as far away from home as we can be pulled. We believe in a Heaven which is composed of a Perfect Energy, and here we are, where nothing is perfect and everything around us shall cease to be. We value this life so very much, when in fact, this life is death itself wearing a thin disguise. The entire concept of our being has become the acquisition of earthly wealth and earthly things. Things we pay for, things that have a price, things that cost us, things which take their toll, things which leave us rich on earth, but poor in Heaven. It is our current condition, and may God and all the mercies under Him find us that we should change our ways.
