“Death is not something to be feared, but rather anticipated. Of course, we are not to precipitate it ourselves, as suicide is surrender and defeat of the worst kind. But if each of us can have the patience to wait and die in God's time, when His time has come for us, that's the day we're going to be the most thankful. We're going to arrive in our heavenly home and see that it was really worth it all!” IfsKindHomeDiesCoursesWaitingWorstSuicideDefeatSurrenderHeavenlyWorth ItHeavenly Home Author:David Berg
