Philippians 1: 20-24
as it is my eager expectation and hope that I will not be at all ashamed, but that with full courage now as always Christ will be honored in my body, whether by life or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labor for me.
Yet which I shall choose I cannot tell. I am hard pressed between the two. My desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better. But to remain in the flesh is more necessary on your account.
2 Timothy 4:6
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.
To follow apostolic example
Philippians 4:9
What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
1 Corinthians 11:1
Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
1 Thessalonians 1:6
And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,
1 Timothy 4:12
Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

+ He should not preach about hell who can not do it without tears. - Dwight L. Moody
+ "There was no "before" the beginning of our universe, because once upon a time there was no time." - John D. Barrow
+ Prayer is a principal means for opening oneself to the power and love of God that is already there—in the depths of reality. - James A. Pike
