"Our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed." Romans 13:11
You are within a few days march of Heaven! Salvation is near to you.
Christians, it is but a little while, and . . . . you will be done weeping and praying--and be triumphing! You shall put off your mourning garments--and put on white robes!
You shall put off your battle armor--and put on a victorious crown!
You are almost ready to commence eternal glory!
When a man is almost at the end of a race--will he tire, or faint away? You have but a little way to go--and you will set your foot in Heaven! Though the way is up-hill and full of thorns; yet you have gone the greatest part of your way, and shortly shall rest from your labors!
