Not Afraid to Die

A sick man turned to his doctor and said, “Doctor, I am afraid to die. Tell me what lies on the other side."Very quietly the doctor said, “I don’t know.” At that moment a dog sprang into the room and leaped on him with an eager show of gladness. Turning to the patient, the doctor said, “Did you notice my dog? He’s never been in this room before. He didn’t know what was inside. He knew nothing except that his master was here, and when the door opened he sprang in without fear.” “I know little of what is on the other side of death, but I do know one thing: I know my Master is there, and that is enough. And when the door opens, I will pass through it with gladness, but with no fear.” (Lou Nicholes - Missionary/Author)
