For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord’s.
Whether we're living our lives or facing death, we belong to God. In every season, the good days and the hard ones, we're his.
Living or dying, you're never not God's.
