In the book of Hebrews, chapter 2, I found this encouraging word: "Foramuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil; And **deliver** them who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage." The "he," of course, is Emmanuel, "God with us," who is always present with us in every present moment. That includes the moment when our spirit returns to the Father to wait for the resurrection to new life, the likes of which we cannot presently fathom!
