and had the fortune to meet our Lord I do belive he'd find me lacking. While other people may be certain that they will be in heaven I am fairly certain I won't. Not for the reason that I'm wicked in the sense that I am sinful in human eyes. The reasons I belive I won't cross those pearly gates is because up to now I've found myself incapable or unwilling of forgiving wrongs done against me. I still remember when the prayer Our Father was explianed to me and that middle part struck fear in me. In case you don't know it here is how I remember it:
Our Father who are in heaven, hollow be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us for our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us. Lead us not into temptation and deliver us from evil. Amen.
This is one prayer that I haven't forgotten. It makes me wonder how can God forgive my trespasses against him when I won't forgive the trespasses against me. I know He can forgive me, but why should He when I won't. There's more, but that will be another time.
