Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
Those who are walking in fellowship with Christ are quite happy to live for Him, yet ready to meet Him in death.
It is the essence of the Christian life – to live for Christ every day in this life while being prepared to meet Him face to face.
To have this great assurance offers peace that escapes explanation.
Jesus Is All The World To Me
___________________________
Jesus is all the world to me, — My life, my joy, my all; — He is my strength from day to day, — Without Him I would fall. — When I am sad, to Him I go, — No other one can cheer me so; — When I am sad, He makes me glad, — He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me, — My Friend in trials sore; — I go to Him for blessings, and — He gives them o’er and o’er.— He sends the sunshine and the rain, — He sends the harvest’s golden grain; — Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, — He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me, — And true to Him I’ll be; — Oh, how could I this Friend deny, — When He’s so true to me? — Following Him I know I’m right, — He watches o’er me day and night; — Following Him by day and night, — He’s my Friend.
Jesus is all the world to me,— I want no better Friend; — I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when — Life’s fleeting days shall end. — Beautiful life with such a Friend, — Beautiful life that has no end; — Eternal life, eternal joy, — He’s my Friend.
