Matthew 25:41
Many years before I became a part of my husband's family, he had an uncle who wrote poetry. One poem he wrote was called "Hell is in Texas". I have no doubt he was inspired to write that poem during a summer such as the current one, where heat records are being toppled daily. People joke a lot about hell. I once heard a joke about a group of rich Texans who got together and air-conditioned hell. But hell is not funny. It is real. It is hot. And it is something we should warn people about. I'm thankful for a young pastor who isn't afraid to preach the "entire" gospel. He preached on the terrors of hell last Sunday and three people were saved. Hell's loss is heaven's gain.
My prayer for today: Father, I don't know what heaven is like, but I'm glad to know I can be there with You.
