Phillipians 1 To live is Christ

20I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.

Yesterday I sold a Select Comfort mattress that we've had for some years. It's an air bed that you can adjust. I cleaned it before listing it for sale. The gentleman (Steve) who picked it up yesterday has kidney cancer. He's been operated on, chemotherapy and now is  participating in a study at the University of Michigan. He was supposed to only have lived until 2005. He is a born again Christian.
He needed the bed due to his illness and couldn't afford new.
He allowed me to pray for him!

He is living for Christ and is using his cancer and Christian testimony to assist and consul others going through kidney cancer.
For Steve "to live is Christ and to die is gain".
What about you?
Are you using your testimony to bring others to Jesus?

Blessings, David
