There are people who followed Christ for over 50 years and lost Him in the end, and there people who followed Christ just for a day and found Him forever.
There are people who read the Bible morning and night but don’t know Christ, and there are people who read the Bible once in a time but Christ lives in them.
There are people who hear from God, but won’t see Him on the Last Day, and there are people who never heard from God for once, but they shall see Him.
There are people who are in every activity in the church, but won’t be found in any activity in Heaven.
God sees beyond what we see, He judges beyond our understanding, efforts made out of impure heart won’t count as a distance.
There are people who pray for years without answer, and there are people even before they open the mouth, He already answered them.
Be one of those people, but how can you be one of such people? The intentions of your heart must be pure, for God is Pure.
There are people who repented very many years ago, yet they aren’t children of God, and there are people who repented today and already earned the position of a child of God.
The distance and years we’ve put in following God isn’t the means to know God, what shall matter is the purity of the heart; for it’s written, God considers the intentions of our hearts.
There’s no spiritual distance farther than the purity of the heart, even if one spends 100 years in the presence of God, if the heart isn’t pure, he won’t see God, but if the heart is pure, the eyes shall see Him at the instant.
