It has been a long time since I could venture into eternity, through God's mercy and Christ's merits; but death remained somewhat terrible, and that now is taken away; and now death is no more to me, but to cast myself into my husband's arms, and to lie down with Him.
This poignant quote expresses a deeply spiritual perspective on death, portraying it not as an end, but as a peaceful union with the divine and loved ones. The speaker reflects on overcoming the fear of death through faith's promise of eternal life, emphasizing hope and divine mercy. The imagery of being taken into God's arms and lying with Him conveys ultimate comfort, highlighting a sense of serenity and spiritual fulfillment in the face of mortality.
