". . . He is a friend who loves at all times, a brother born for adversity. His love, in its immutability, fullness, and perfection, is the great bulwark of their safety; and His friendship, is the joy of their hearts. He sticks closer than a brother, and never will fail or forsake the soul that trusts in Him. He performs all the kind offices of friendship . . . in sickness and health, in plenty and poverty, in life and death. He has Heaven and earth at His command, as the friend of the defenseless soul. He has all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, as the companion of the ignorant and fearful. He calls His people, friends, and presents Himself to them as their friend for their comfort, confidence, and joy. . ."
"Death is the last enemey of all the saints; and when the Christian meets it with sacred courage, he gives that honour to the captain of his salvation, which the saints in glory can never give, and which he himself can never repeat. Dying with faith and fortitude is a noble conclusion of a life of zeal and service. It is the very last duty on earth. When that is done then heaven begins." Isaac Watts
The kingdoms of earth pass away one by one, But the kingdom of Heaven remains; It is built on a rock, and the Lord is its king, And forever and ever He reigns.
