Precious in the sight of the Lord, Is the death of His saints – Psalm 116:15
Too often, we focus on how people died rather than how they lived. We focus on what happened to their physical being during their death experience and use that judge the love of God. We should remember that in Christ, death is a transition experience much like the metamorphosis of a butterfly. In death, we put off a body corrupted by sin and put on a body that is incorruptible. We go from a passing glory to an eternal glory. During that experience, angels are present, and the eyes of the Lord are fixed on the scene as He supervises the homegoing on His beloved. Therefore, nobody ever dies alone no matter if they were living in solitude and no matter the circumstance of their death. For as many have accepted the Lord, they are no longer sinners but saints in identity. For saints, to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Let the words of the Psalmist give you peace at this very moment. The death of those who know Him is very precious to the Lord. He was there the day they were born and He is there the day their body dies.
God never leaves nor forsakes us, not when we are alive and not when we die
