superior attitude, declaring that you know the disposition of souls you
would condemn in superficiality - repent of this self-loathing that would
restrict the entrance God's kingdom only to those you approve, before you
find yourself alone in heaven and then discover you have only preserved your
place in Sheol. Repent, for Jesus Christ promised to receive the penitent
into His kingdom - a kingdom large enough for all those who seek His love.
Only the Lord knows the heart of those that know Him.
+ Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner.
+ Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner.
+ Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on me, a sinner.
The Lord said, "Love one another as I have loved you - so that they
may know you are of me."
In love, we need to allow space in heaven even for our enemies. The
Lord will judge the heart.
