You know, I have to say I believe slightly different. I do believe that when I die that I’m going to have to account for the contents of my life to my Lord.
I have to say that I’m a bit nervous about that, because when I was younger I did something that was a horrible mistake, it is my worst sin, and I’ve not forgotten it.
All I can do is ask Him for forgiveness and move forward, learn from it, and not do it again.
Another thing that I try to let guide me is my belief that character is what you do when you think no one is watching. but my Lord is always watching, and I know this is true, I’m not just saying that to say it.
I don’t know if what I have done in my life will affect my soul for eternity, but I feel the weight of the bad things I have done even though 20 years have passed, I still feel it.
That’s all great and character certainly is important while we are alive. But I just don’t see how it would matter after we are dead. I think it’s a whole new journey that doesn’t have anything to do with these few years we’re here on earth. I believe that since God knows what we will do with our lives way before we are even born, then we can’t really do anything that isn’t in His plan.
That’s one of His gifts to us I think, being able to imagine and believe different things while fulfilling His plan..
