I hope that I can die as an active Believer, serving the
Lord, I do not want to be an old and hopeless person who miserably depends on
other people. I want to be a Joy and Life giver until I die. When I consider
death I have Joy because I hope to meet with Jesus Christ in person and to be
free to Worship Him forever in Glory. This is a Blessed Hope. May I achieve this
Hope by the Grace of God.
