For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad. -2 Corinthians 5:10
Did I hear one say, “I will avoid sin by being very retired; I will find out a quiet place where I shall not be tempted, and where I shall have few calls upon me.” Pretty soldier you who when your Captain says, “Win the victory,” reply, “I will keep clear of the fight.” No, Christian, go about your trade, go into the busy mart, attend to your business, attend to your family, attend to those matters which God has allotted to you, and glorify God in the battle of life by doing more than others. Will God enable you so to do.
(B)y our fruits we are to be known. Men will never know us by our faith, for that is within us; they know us by our works, which are visible to them. Bring forth, therefore, the fruits of grace that the world may know you have been with Jesus. Remember also that works are to be evidence at the last. It is consistent with the gospel of grace, no doubt, for it is a truth clearly revealed, that we shall be judged according to the deeds done in the body, whether they be good or whether they be evil; and you know that when the Lord gives us the description of the judgment, He did not say to His disciples, “Ye believed in Me,” or “Ye loved Me”-these were secret matters-but He said, “I was an hungered, and ye gave Me meat; I was thirsty, and ye gave Me drink; I was sick and in prison, and ye visited Me.” It is by your works ye will be judged. O believers, may grace enable you to abound in them. ~ C.H. Spurgeon

May God give you strength for the day and grace to make your mountains as a plain…amen! \o/

I’m sorry to hear that. The 2 things I hate sin and death. Check out this Bible Verse Psalm 68:5 New King James Version (NKJV)
5 A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows,
Is God in His holy habitation.
I asked myself at the time what if I prayed more read the Word more did I do something but it was His time to take them home. A death of a loved one is never easy But God is with us!

Just reread the comments…The Word you shared gave me renewed strength! I go to see a lawyer tomorrow and to read that God is my defender (a defender of the widow) is a promise that gives me hope.
Well, I just wanted say, thank you, and God bless you, Brother, as you have blessed me with your timely, God given words! \o/
