Reformed Wisdom

"You need not be cast down by sickness. The eternal part of you is safe and provided for, whatever happens to your body. You may well look calmly on death. It opens a door between you and your inheritance. You may well not sorrow exclusively over the things of the world - over partings and bereavements - over losses and crosses. The day of gathering is before you. Your treasure is beyond reach of harm. Heaven is becoming every year more full of those you love, and earth more empty. Glory in your inheritance. It is all yours if you are a children of God. "If we are children, then we are heirs." "  -- J. C.Ryle.  (Gently lifted from http://jcrylequotes.com/2012/04/25/possessing-an-eternal-perspective-on-sickness/)
