Grace for your spirit November 15, 2012

Grace for your spirit
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether it be good or bad.  Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men.  II Corinthians 5:10-11

Hundreds of years ago, people started writing stories for kids, often called nursery rhymes.  No matter when the content, the story usually started with, "Once upon of time", and then concluded with the words, "And they all lived happily ever after."  Life is not a nursery rhyme, and we need to be aware of that.  We all have our time to obey the Lord, and someday our time on earth will be over.  There most certainly will be a judgment day to determine our eternal destiny.  Will it be joy with the Lord, or misery out of His presence?  Often we hear of the departed, that they did their best, and they are in a better place. The Lord will be the final judge of whether that is true or not.
