Farewell all relations and friends in Christ; farewell acquaintances and all earthly enjoyments; farewell reading and preaching, praying and believing, wanderings, reproaches, and sufferings.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Farewell, dearest friend, never to see one another any more till at the right hand of Christ.
Each heartfelt prayer, each Church meeting attended, each worthy friend, each righteous decision, each act of service perfomed all precede that goal of eternal life.
Don't be dismayed by good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends.
We leave as we came and, god willing, as we shall return, with peace, and hope for all mankind.
All farewells should be sudden, when forever.
It's always difficult to say goodbye, especially when one has spent a long time - literally years, in the case of a series - inside a character or two, suffering and celebrating with them.
My worldview, my philosophy, my attitudes, my relationships, my parenting, my marriage - everything has been transformed by my relationship with Christ.
God be thanked for books; they are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
Where ever the spirit of Christ is known, there is much of good will, of mutual respect, of love and appreciation and kindness.
All we will ever know and share about love, humility, compassion, and sacrifice - the secrets that will reveal and then resolve old sorrows - awaits us within ourselves.
