Many people worry because they do not seem to have “dying grace.” They still fear death and shrink from it. But God has never promised dying grace when one's duty is to live. Grace for duty, for toil, for love, for honesty, for earnest service in every good cause, for brave struggle, for unselfish ministry, for holy influence; grace for noble and beautiful living, and for loyal devotion to Christ while the heart’s pulses are full and while God wants us still in this world — but not yet grace for dying since death is far away. Then grace for dying when the life's work is done, its duty finished, and the call comes to leave this world and go home. And will not that be soon enough for dying grace to be bestowed?
