Matthew 7:21 NASB "Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter."I remember it well! Today's verse may be hard for some of us to grasp, but the reality is that some will not get to enter! It was a childhood game, maybe you've played it too called "Mother may I" - Children would line up and one person would be selected to be Mother. Each would ask if they could take so many steps to reach her but if you didn't say "Mother may I" then the answer was no. The person who did say the right thing would get to take steps to get to "Mother" and be the mother for the next game. Sadly many of us think that if we do this and that, being nice, that we will enter heaven. The reality is that many will not get to enter but only those who have done the Father's Will. Let's make sure to read His Word, to find our what the Father's Will is, so that we can take the steps needed. peace, tom
