Thank you all for your condolences. During prayer the other day, the Lord said, "She is with me.". How gracious of Him to let me know. She is "running with angels on streets made of gold, listening to stories of saints new and old, worshipping her Maker".
I have shared this with others and one person wrote, "Aren't we all on the same road?" How I wish that were true. But the Bible is so clear about how to get to Heaven.

John 14:6 "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.".

Luke 13:24+"Strive to enter through the NARROW door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the House has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the dor, saying, Lord, open to us, then He will answer you, "I do not know where you come from. " Then you wil begin to say, We ate and drank in Your presence, and you taught in our streets. But He will say "I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me.".

Matthew 7:13+ "Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads t life, and those who find it are few.".

I have learned that there is a difference between Jesus being the Lord of your life and accepting Him as your Savior. You try to follow His ways and be obedient if He is your Lord. These are the people who will be utterly surprised to be turned away. To make Him your Savior, you must admit you are a sinner and accept His great sacrifice on the cross as payment for your sins, past present and future. Jesus paid it all. He is the narrow road. The only way.

To many people, Heaven and Hell are fictional places. They are very real. I have many friends who are in Heaven but sadly, some of my friends are suffering in eternal hell. How it grieves me to think of them. But we all make our own choice.

I pray that everyone who reads this will one day be with me, and my sister, and my Lord in Heaven. Blessings to all.
