"In YOUR presence is fullness of joy."

Death to the Christian!
(J.R. Miller, "Help for the Day")

"They are without fault before
he throne of God!" Revelation 14:5

Death to the Christian
, only . . .
  washes out all his sins and stains,
  shatters the crust of his mortality,
  sweeps away all his moral spots, 
blots, infirmities, weaknesses, follies, 
limitations and blemishes--
and then life expands into perfect 
freedom, fullness, joy, and power.

The translation of a Christian 
from earth to Heaven, is but like 
the removal of a tender plant 
from a frigid northern garden, 
where it is stunted and dying--
into a tropical field, where it puts 
out most luxurious growth and 
covers itself with splendor!

"In YOUR presence is fullness of joy; 
at YOUR right hand there are pleasures 
forevermore!" Psalm 16:11
