“Death will be:
 the death of my misery,

But death will be my birthday in regard of happiness.”

John Calvin, “We may positively state that nobody has made any progress in the school of Christ, unless he cheerfully looks forward towards the day of his death.”

Colossians 3:1-4 “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory!”
