You will have to forgive me for this one I’m going to be selfish pointed unreasonable contrary right down Hateful if you want to put it that way least it’s going to be short I appreciate as well as anyone else the Accomplishments of great people in our world and history Hemmingway won a Pulitzer for Old Man and The Sea and many others in all fields of endeavor and in your lives you achieve happiness and joy from Many areas but my one question backed by the one who has all authority to make this statement what Will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and then loses his eternal soul that is my question are you doing What is required to make it through the Pearly gates I don’t mean to be smart on this point but I’m not Asking for your wishful thinking you know all the questions in life that we answer some willingly and Some grudgingly but this one above all else needs to be asked and it needs to be given the gravest Thought the bible says there is a way that seems right into man but the end is destruction maybe Christ Said what will a man give for his soul any way the truth is there is the biggest scrabble game known to Man and it is the very fact whatever you do don’t think on eternal verities you know the scene when Someone is flipping out and a helpful person slaps their face let this be that but do it to yourself you will Be getting the attention of all of our worst enemies this Godless heathen outer life that gyrates to every Hell bound action is making a bill that the soul will have to pay forever I said it before the pain and Suffering we will accept as deserving but to not to be loved that will be the greatest hell that we will Suffer today we don’t realize that it his love that makes life worth living we know so much about God Generally speaking but the intimate real God we barely know His hell is listening for the distinct and only Voice that matters and that is you as lost sheep He waits as an earthy parent who let his child go on an Outing that was known to be dangerous but freedom demanded no less and for a great many love won’t Be enough as already is shown by the Christ less graves that are strewn across the landscape I know Because my sister is one of them I begged her the last time I was home and then she died I endured Her truthfulness at her funeral they played only worldly songs of defiance my only comfort she wasn’t a Hypocrite she wouldn’t live for him but died having to bear the burden of sin and it punishments her self I told the story in Night Thoughts how I stood by a young nineteen year old mother’s desk she had a Fifteen month old little boy it was two in the morning by eleven the next morning he would be Motherless I being human knew nothing of this unfolding tragedy but the Christ within caused me to sob Uncontrollably for forty five minutes or so I was getting the blowback of his undying love and her voice Was dying away as it was carried to the beyond of the lost it’s happened more than once to me don’t Let my tears be for you when your greatest love waits in vain for you to say please rescue me
