1 Thessalonians 4:15-18
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
2 Timothy 4:7-8
For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing .

"Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine" - Bill & Gloria Gaither (Live)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LRI-ILYyq4
Yesterday, the last day of August, as I was readying myself to go grocery shopping, I truly believe that the Lord put this beautiful hymn--"Blessed Assurance" into my heart...for which I heard the last two stanzas playing in my head. Here are the lyrics:
Blessed assurance, Jesus in mine!
O what a forestaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchased of God,
Born of His spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Perfect submission, all is at rest;
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

For we are indeed doing just that, aren't we?
Maranatha!
