"Perhaps the Lord will not have need of me longer, and will let me rest in the grave. I hope to be free from the paper. I have stood by it in extreme adversity; and now when its friends are many, I feel free to leave it, if some one can be found who will take it. I hope my way will be made clear. May the Lord direct.” LS 141.3"
"For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain."
The EGW passage expresses a willingness to be released from earthly duties and potentially die, trusting in God's will. This echoes the sentiment in Philippians 1:21, where Paul states that to live is Christ and to die is gain, reflecting a perspective where death is viewed as a positive outcome.
