the best of all, God is with us.

"wesley died on wednesday march 2, 1791, in his eighty-eighth year.  as he lay dying, his friends gathered around him, wesley grasped their hands and said repeatedly, "farewell, farewell."  at the end, summoning all his remaining strength, he cried out, "the best of all is, God is with us," lifted his arms and raised his feeble voice again, repeating the words, "the best of all is, God is with us."

i found myself with tears in my eyes after reading this, and repeating that phrase over and over on my walk down the hill to class this morning.  and how beautiful!
the best of all, God is with us...
the best of all, God is with us...
best of all, God is with us...
God is with us.
