What Hell Might Be Like

I was going through my notebook and found this entry. I thought it was really cool, so I am posting it here. Hope it makes you think.

"Hell is defined as the complete separation from GOD. Not a very scary thought, considering most people are trying to live without HIM already. But I think we should consider this:

GOD gives us a future and a hope.
Hell, then, is an eternity of hopelessness and spiritual death.
GOD has plans and a purpose for us.
Hell would then be an eternal existence for no reason and with no goals.
Not scary enough?

Imagine being created with the ability to touch, but void of anything to reach for: no kittens, no hugs.
Or made with the ability to hear, but only silence reaches your ears for eternity.
The same goes for sight, smell, and taste. Nothing around but black emptiness, though you maintain all your faculties.

Hell is having gifts and talents and being unable to use, or even communicate, them.

It's not so much about the external torture, but the internal torture that will come from complete and total isolation. Everything GOD has given us to bless us will be cut off from HIM and will turn on us to provide the torture of the true hell - separation from GOD."

Kinda cool food for thought, huh?
