Patience to live

John Flavel: "Most men need patience to die, but a saint who understands what death admits him to should rather need patience to live."

  1. That is something I've been trying to vocalize for a while and I could never find the right words. Some days I find myself so desperate for Jesus to return that I can't even concentrate properly. I think those days give me more of a desire to read and study the Bible.

  2. “O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?”

    To me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain….I am hard pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ. -Philippians 1:21,23
