Comfort and Refuge

At death the soul, freed from the pains, weariness, ills and limitations of the body, begins its highest life. Death is the beginning of the higher life.

  Death is the funeral of all our sorrows.

Death is the best healing of all, so try not to worry about it. When we die, that’s the final, permanent healing. Our old body finally dies and we are rid of it and free. Then we don’t have any more diseases or troubles. We won’t hurt anymore because we will be in our spiritual body, our new model!

DBB

The twenty-third Psalm is always a great comfort in time of need. It reassures us that the Lord will never depart from us nor leave us comfortless. Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, the Lord says that He will be with us. He’ll be with us then to comfort and lead us into a new life forever.

PSALM 23

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want [lack].

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:

He leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul:

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for His name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:

For Thou art with me;

Thy rod and Thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies:

Thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life:

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

O death, where is thy sting, O grave, where is thy victory?
