How wonderful to finally be in God's presence, away from sin and the temptations and sorrows that separate me from Him! Yet there are those here who need to be reconciled to an angry God who loves them - and needs me as ambassador to tell them so. So I must remain here as long as He purposes and I am so able, that I may do these and disciple others to also do the same, warning and teaching them. Time is short, and the wide gate to destruction is full...
Philippians 1:21-26
21 For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. 22 But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell. 23 For I am hard- pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better. 24 Nevertheless to remain in the flesh is more needful for you. 25 And being confident of this, I know that I shall remain and continue with you all for your progress and joy of faith, 26 that your rejoicing for me may be more abundant in Jesus Christ by my coming to you again.
Colossians 1:28-29
Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. To this end I also labor, striving according to His working which works in me mightily.
