"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Matthew 7:21-23 NIV

I am looking forward to Hearing HIM say: " Enter In, Thy Good & Faithful Servant".........
I am saved by His Shed Blood, and Know that my Name is Written in The Book Of Life. I accepted JESUS as MY Personal Savior.> 9/28/66.

That's a text that's sure to get a response every time!
As for me, I will say what I have said many times before. God looks at the whole picture of someone's life. God also looks at the heart and intent. Scary, isn't it?
When you really think about it, this is the hardest judgement of all. Some people who have done "great works" may be surprised to find themselves on the out side- looking in, on judgement day.
As my Grandmother once told me, "There will be people in heaven we never thought would make it; and there will be people missing from Heaven that we were sure would be there."......Blessings!

Welcome to the Father House!
I was shocked, confused, bewildered
as I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
who made me sputter and gasp--
the thieves, the liars, the sinners,
the alcoholics and the trash.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
was rotting away in hell,
was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, "What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
"And why's everyone so quiet,
so somber - give me a clue."
"Hush , child," He said, "they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you."
JUDGE NOT LESS YOU BE JUDGED.

All I want Him to say is "Well done good and faithful servant, enter into the joy of the Lord". I am so excited for that day to come, no more sin, sickness, poverty, war and no more devil to contend with. Oh Thank God!!! But in the mean time I will abide and continue in the things of God looking for opportunities to share God's goodness with those who have ears to hear.

If I were to go to heaven hopefully God would say -"Yeah sorry about all my believers down there that tried pushing their ideals and moral propaganda on you" -sighs-" and by the way the other Gods and Goddesses I was substituting for are located in the in the garden section, blessed be".

i know what he said: in a vision to the world and to ME.
repent of your sins, and believe,
he also says, how often would i have gathered you as a Hen gathers her chicks. Even as HE gave his life for them that live under the protection of his wings.
