I was listening to a sermon on my drive home the other day, and there was one thought that really stuck with me. I'm not really into preachers using one liners or alot of personal thoughts and experiences--just give me the BIBLE.
BUT....after this pastor used the Bible to give a sermon on prayer, he closed with this person thought that has rocked my world for 3 days.
"When I get to the judgment seat the worst thing for me will be looking back at my life and seeing how I could have prayed for others more, and didn't."
I too think of the judgment seat often but in a very different light. I picture myself quivering and pleading for God to be pleased with me. I imagine the list being sooooo long of all of my sins and faults. My HOPE after hearing this sermon is that at the judgment seat I would have a heart for others more than myself. I hope that I look back on my life and see that I prayed for the lost salvation. I hope that I didn't miss it on earth.
I need to get busy!

There must be something in the water here in Charlotte, because my heart/mind has been challenged this week to do the same - pray more deeply for my family, and for those that are far from Christ!
