Today's Verse: Philippians 1:21

Monday, August 18, 1958

To me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
— Philippians 1:21

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

The truth is often as simple as it is sweet - if Jesus is our life, then our lives have no end. Death does not strip life from us, but ushers us into life in Jesus' very presence!

My Prayer...

Eternal God, thank you for sending Jesus to show me your love and thank you for sending him again soon to take me home. He is my anchor in the storms of life and my light in the darkest nights reminding me that you love me with an undying love. In the name of Jesus, the Resurrection and the Life, I pray. Amen.
