Philippians 1:21-24
21 For to me, living is for Christ, and dying is even better.
22 Yet if I live, that means fruitful service for Christ. I really don't know which is better.
23 I'm torn between two desires: Sometimes I want to live,
and sometimes I long to go and be with Christ. That would be far better for me,
24 but it is better for you that I live.
(NLT)
Have you ever felt this way? Here on earth we are to live for Christ but to die is to be with Christ forever. No more pain, no more suffering and no more waiting. But that is not what He has for us right now. He wants us to live and to live for Him. For us to stay is a benefit for others. Christ is not done with us He has much more for us to learn and to grow. As we live this life in Christ we are to be fruitful. We are to make disciples. We are to be in the Word. We are to be learning to trust Christ, to grow closer to Christ and to share Christ with others. To draw near to God and have God draw near to us. Therefore to live, to truely live, is to live for Christ.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
