Eternally Relieved

Now absent from the body relieved finally from wrenching tubes Dad bade goodbye, serenely leaving last will with Scripture's assurance: "In my Father's house are many mansions..."* Yes, he's surely welcomed by the Lord, the Saviour and Endower of eternal life to them who placed their trust in His sacrifice, along His Word asserting: "I am the way, the truth, and the life..."** Instilled with such divine truth, my faith does firmly cling to the Shepherd's promise: "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow, I will fear no evil for Thou art with me..."*** Indeed, God walks warmly along death, comforting with His compassion for us not to fear death, but be prepared for it.
