This biblical truth shared by Richard Sibbes gives peace to my nightly inner disquieteness.

“Death is nothing but a gathering, and presupposeth that God’s children are all scattered in this world amongst wicked men...as pilgrims use to be in a strange land. Therefore we had need be gathered, and it is a comfort to be gathered.

~ Richard Sibbes’ “Josiah’s Reformation”

Amen.
