Thoughts of a Servant

There are two things I think of when I consider death.  One is that the Savior will know us, the other is that he will not know us.  Wow.

If we were to die and go to Heaven, what a glorious site it would be to have the Holy God tell us “Come here my child, I have prepared a place for you.”  And he brings you into glory and rejoicing.  This is where we will get to share the riches of Heaven on Earth and praise God.

The other option is for us to get to Heaven and Jesus says to us, “Im sorry, but I never knew you.”  Where we spent all of our time on earth searching splendor in lust, idolatry, adultery, etc.  Now we will spend eternity in the darkest, coldest, depths of our soul.

Just as a side note… I had a misconception about hell for a while.  I was taught that hell was full of burning and torture and whatnot– But I recently learned what all of that symbolizes rather than a literal sense.  One that spends time in Hell will have something much worse than physical torment and torture…  It will be a place where we will be alone.  It will be a place where we know that God is real, and exists.  It will be a place where the deepest parts of our hearts and soul will want a relationship with God, but will never be able to obtain it because of our disobedience on Earth and our unwillingness to have a relationship with Jesus.  This longing is not just “I want a relationship with God.”  It is a longing where you are parched of thirst for God, where your burning for a relationship with God, where you are utterly desperate for a relationship with God.
