If we did not go to sleep at night, we’d never awaken to see the light or meet the dawn by some quite lake with the joy of watching a new day break. And death too is a time of sleeping, for those who are done are in God’s keeping, There is a sunrise for each soul, for life – not death – is God’s promised goal. So trust God’s promise and doubt him never, for only through death can we live forever!
