sailing into glory - charles h. spurgeon

"Suppose, dear friend, the thought of departing from this world to the glory-world should ever startle you.[...] Your vessel is in the pool, as it were, or in the dock; she is going out on her voyage; oh, but you will not go alone, nor have to track your course through paths unnavigated or unknown before![...] The Atlantic that severs us from Canaan is white with the sails of the vessels that are on voyage thither. Fear not, they have not been wrecked; we hear good news of their arrival - there is good hope for you. There are no icebergs on the road, no mists, no counter currents, and no sunken vessels or quicksands; you have but to cut your moorings, and with Christ on board you shall be at your desired haven at once."

I absolutely love this quote. Our voyage takes trust - "cut your moorings" - but it will always be completed, because God is a perfect and gentle captain. We have nothing to fear.
