"At 83 or 63 or 33 or 13 we have all lived longer than we deserve. At death therefore be grieved, but not embittered."The more I reflect on the holiness of God, the more I see the weight of my own sin. I don't deserve to live in a nice house, to eat good food, to have a loving wife, or to live until I'm 24. My sin requires death. It is only grace that I am still alive, and it is only grace that God will allow me to eventually see Him face to face.
