A reflection on the death of saints

From my journal this afternoon -

This morning I was singing Tis So Sweet and couldn't get the image of those Egyptian martyrs on that beach out of my head. Oh how dearly they trusted Jesus! Remembering a Brennan Manning quote - "You have not said in your heart, 'God exists' until you've said, 'I trust You'". Also bringing to mind 
I'm Good, especially the line, 'death is just a doorway to take me to my faithful lover'" Remembering Tina's dad who laid dying and knew he'd be living forever. It gives me goosebumps to think of all these men who so trusted in Jesus for life that death wasn't even a concern. 

Jesus, I believe. Lord, help my unbelief.
