He said, She said (2)

Continuing the thought from the previous post, lest someone think there is no way out of life, but through the door of doubt, despair, and defeat, I felt I should add the "last words" of one who was not included in the book I read. These words were recorded in another Book:

"For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing." -- The Apostle Paul, 2 Tim. 4:6-8

Or in other words, "It was worth it."
