Sadness

Are there any sadder words in Scripture than "Depart from Me. I never knew you."

My heart mourns deeply for those as well who have encountered His love, recognized His sacrifice, and turned from Him. And then, one eternal day, they will kneel before Him and acknowledge that He was everything He claimed to be. It would have been better for them to have never known. What an eternity awaits them.  What an undying memory.

May our hearts be broken as we pray that those who merely know about Him may take that glorious step into knowing Him as Savior, brother, friend, lover.

May our hearts be broken as we pray for a broken heart of repentance for those who have stood in the presence of His love and turned away. May our God do whatever is necessary to free them from their pride, humble their hearts, and turn them back to true repentance.

Lord, amen.
