Yesterday I read a paper by a young man who was asked to write an essay on heaven. In this paper he wrote as if he was dreaming. He woke in a room with one wall covered in files. Each file had a different label; some were things like "Friends" or "Enemies"... others were more specifice such as: "Friends I Have Betrayed" or "Jokes I Have Laughed At". Many were shameful though. He began to notice files such as "Things I Have Muttered Under My Breath At My Parents" or "Lustful Thoughts". He pulled out card after card and saw that his signature was at the bottom of each. Scared, he began to try and destroy the cards but found they were as "strong as steel". Then he caught sight of a file titled "People I Have Shared The Gospel With". In that file was a small box. He could count the number of cards in held on one hand. He sunk to the ground and began to sob. Looking up, he saw Jesus standing in front of the files and signing his name over the boys in red. He took his sins and he wants to take yours too. The Lord sees everything you do and think. Stay away from the things he would be ashamed of.
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." ~Phil. 4:13
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life." ~John 3:16
