Ecclesiastes 3:21

Now it happened that the poor man died, and he was carried by the angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man died too, and was buried.

And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

to fill the place in this apostolic ministry which Judas left in order to go to his own place."

I know that if this earthly tent of mine is taken down, I get a home from God, made by no human hands, eternal in the heavens.

and in this confidence I would fain get away from the body and reside with the Lord.

I am in a dilemma between the two. My strong desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far the best.
