Will you be happy?

The other day I was rushed to hospital light headed and short of breath. Such a thing had happened to me four years earlier. Then it was due to large blood clots on my lungs that kept me in hospital for over a week almost killing me.
This time it was a suspected heart attack. Like the blood clots of a few years earlier it could have taken my life.
Like the last time, as odd as it may seem, I also had no fear of death. I did honestly pray and ask God to spare my life and he did.
It was quite an unusual thing for me to be lying in the Emergency ward. I didn’t pray a lot just a quick prayer asking God to spare my life. It was not up to me to tell God what to do. My life was his to do with as he wished.
I have no fear of death for me it brings no sorrow. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that when I die I will go to be with God for all eternity.
The Jesus said,
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son”.
John 3:16-18.
I believe in God. I believe in Jesus. That He is the one and only Son of God. That He died for my sins that I may spend eternity in heaven.
John the apostle referring to Jesus writes,
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God— children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband’s will, but born of God."
John 1:12,13.
I can honestly say if what John is saying is true, which I believe he is, then I am a Child of God and thus do not have to fear death.
I can say when I die and others are crying over me, I will be happy.
Will you? Can you be certain?
Please think about it.
