For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
A.W. Tozer observed that, “Many are engaged in a desperate search … doing it all on borrowed time, borrowed money and borrowed strength.” It was interesting to read some of the epitaphs while walking in a cemetery where some family members are buried. One inscription that deeply impressed me read, “In Thy presence is fullness of joy” (2 Chron. 21:20). Our challenge is to live so that faithful works will follow our departure. —E. Dyck
Thy glory, not our own:
Still let us keep our end in view,
And still the pleasing task pursue,
To please our God alone.
—C. Wesley
