Oh, what beautiful words! I’ve been blessed to know so many people who’ve graduated to heaven who I just know heard those words when they stood before their King. God doesn’t expect me to be perfect—how could I be?—but He asks me to be good (sincerely seeking Him and His will) and faithful (diligently striving to follow Him and His will). He knows my heart’s motivations and understands my weaknesses. I pray on that day when my Father and I are face to face, those words will apply to me.
