| Dear Young Christian: |
| When we are young we don’t think much about death and what lies beyond. At least I didn’t! I knew I was saved, and that if I died I would go to heaven, but beyond that I really have to admit, I didn’t give it a whole lot of thought. |
| However, here is an interesting statement from the lips of a dying youth that might be worth considering, even for readers who consider themselves “young people.” |
“Think of me tomorrow as being the
happiest person you ever heard of.” |
| It brings to mind the words of David, who so many centuries ago said, “In Thy presence is fulness of joy; at Thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore … As for me, I will behold Thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with Thy likeness” (Psalm 16:11; 17:15). |
| I don’t suppose many of us count on dying this week, but if we do, how wonderful to know that we will be happy and satisfied beyond what we could ever imagine. |
| Your Christian Friend, |
