I always hate these threads. Your brother is partying before the Throne of God, taking it all in, and exclaiming "no lie!" I just find it hard to grieve over that. Yes I know you will miss him but he's partying before the Throne of God, taking it all in, and exclaiming "no lie"! The emotion I feel at times like this is envy... I think Paul did too, when he said to live is Christ and to die is gain (Phil 1:21). And again when he said he longed to die, but for God's purposes would persevere here and now (Phil 1:23). And again in Philippians 3:10 where he longed to know the experience of the transition. Your loved one is partying before the Throne of God, taking it all in, and exclaiming "no lie!" Think of that whenever you start to feel that he - or you - have suffered some kind of defeat here.
