I love that there is a theme of rejoicing throughout the book of Philippians. If we live, we can rejoice because God loves us, sent His Son to die for us, and gives us what we need (not what we want). If we die, saved, we can rejoice because we will be with Christ forever. This doesn't mean we won't have problems on this earth. Even as Jesus had to suffer, our obedience to God will involve suffering... BUT praise GOD we are citizens of Heaven (Philippians 3:20) and should live with that thought constantly before us! :) Like the Apostle Paul said, "To live is Christ, to die is gain".
