Do you believe that God loves you? Do you really, in the depths of your soul, in your heart of hearts, in the quiet of the night, in your dying moment, in pain as in pleasure, beyond doubt, beyond despair, beyond all loss or gain… do you really know that God loves you? Can you cling to the root of Gods love when you have fallen over the cliff of hopelessness? When all the natural supports and allusions of self sufficiency are gone and all you have left are Gods promises and the memory of his nature, can you hold bare knuckled to the love of God?

Now read Hebrews 12:7-12 and look for the certainty that nothing at all matters in this world but your relationship with the creator. Remember Faithfull in the Pilgrims Progress and ask who was more blessed, Christian who survived to walk the narrow way to the river and cross in glory after many more episodes of struggle and glory or faithfull Faithfull who was taken to his father in persecution and torture. Nothing else matters: not life, not death, not comfort or security, not family, not beauty, not riches, not symetry, not ballance. You cannot Pretend that the rock hard and razor sharp divide between life and death is nonexistant. People were giving and being given in marriage the day before Noah was closed into the ark. Making long term plans and acting as if tommorrow will be just like today is effemeral.
