Jonathan Edwards' 7th resolution:
"Resolved, never to do anything, which I should be afraid to do, if it were the last hour of my life."
From his diary:
"Let every thing have the value now which it will have upon a sick bed; and frequently, in my pursuits of whatever kind, let this question come into my mind. 'How much shall I value this upon my death-bed?'"
The Unwavering Resolve of Jonathan Edwards, p. 97.
The "stuff" we long for really has no value in our final hours.
