If we desire to end our days in joy and comfort, let us lay the foundation of a comfortable death now betimes. To die well is not a thing of that light moment as some imagine: it is no easy matter. But to die well is a matter of every day. Let us daily do some good that may help us at the time of our death. Every day by repentance pull out the sting of some sin,that so when death comes, we may have nothing to do but to die. To die well is the action of the whole life.
Richard SibbesWhatsoever God takes away from His children, He either replaces it with a much greater favor or else gives strength to bear it.
Richard SibbesThe life of a Christian should be a meditation how to unloose his affection from inferior things. He will easily die that is dead before in affection.
