To Die Is Gain

Someone dear to me died last week.
A committed Christian, he is with God.
His minister quoted Paul:
"For to me to live is Christ,
To die is gain."
My favorite verse:

Phillippians 1:21.

"To live is Christ" should be our motto.
Every day should bring us closer to God,
Every day, we should try to follow Christ's example,
Every day, we should pray,
Every day, we should wait in silence to know his will.
Every day, we should count our blessings.
"To die is gain" should echo in our hearts.
Death is nothing to fear.
Death is a portal to eternity.
Death is the doorway to God.
Death is a threshold we all must cross.
Death is God's first embrace.
Live every day for Jesus and
Fear not.
