GENESIS
Death isn’t the end, it is the beginning, the beginning of
greater growth, greater progress, greater service, and
greater joy. As Louise Chandler Moulton has written:
“At the end of Love, at the end of Life,
At the end of Hope, at the end of Strife,
At the end of all that we cling to so-
The sun is setting-ust we go?
“At dawn of Love, at Dawn of Life,
At dawn of Peace that follows Strife,
At dawn of all we long for so-
The sun is rising--let us go!”
Conclusion: “Wherefore God is not ashamed of them,
to be called their God; for he hath prepared for them a
city.” This is the promise! And God keeps His promises!
“How beautiful to be with God,
When earth is fading like a dream,
And from this mist-encircled shore
To launch upon the unknown stream!
No doubt, no fear, no anxious care,
But, comforted by staff and rod,
In the faith-brightened hour of death,
How beautiful to be with God.
“Beyond the partings and the pains,
Beyond the sighing and the tears,
Oh, beautiful to be with God
Through all the endless, blessed years-
To see His face, to hear His voice,
To know Him better day by day,
And love Him as the flowers love light,
And serve Him as immortals may.”
My sinner friend, will you not turn now, and start
upon your pilgrimage of faith?
