Some day you will read in the papers that D.L. Moody, of East Northfield, is dead. Don’t you believe a word of it. At that moment I shall be more alive than I am now. I shall have gone up higher, that is all; out of this old clay tenement into a house that is immortal, a body that death cannot touch. —Dwight L. Moody, American evangelist (1837–1899)
Heaven in all its glory could be summed up in one word: Christ. He is the light of creation, the joy of all life, and above all, the deepest love of our souls. To embrace Him is to embrace the meaning of life and the eternal power of God. —Bettie J. Eadie, near-death survivor and author of “Embraced by the Light”
Leave behind what is simply good in exchange for the eternal. —Spanish proverb
Death is no more than passing from one room into another. But there’s a difference for me, you know. Because in that other room I shall be able to see. —Helen Keller, American author and activist, blind and deaf from infancy (1880–1968)
The joys of heaven will surely compensate for the sorrows of earth. Death is but a narrow stream, and thou shalt soon have forded it. Time, how short—eternity, how long! Death, how brief—immortality, how endless! —Charles Spurgeon, English preacher and author (1834–1892)
