"For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain" Philippians 1:21
This is a verse often spoken among believers. Living each day in service to our Holy King is a joy within itself. Living so that His Holy Spirit drives our motives, thoughts deeds and words is a worthy goal. For me death is not a loss for I shall be with The Lord upon my departure. This promise gives us the courage to live boldly for Messiah, in the face of adversity, even in the face of death.
