Seek the Lord Today

by

Karen Pansler-Lam, J.D.

O what billows of sorrow flood my soul!  Tragically, my beloved nephew committed suicide. 

We spent many happy hours together when he was young.  O those precious memories!

But he was not a Christian.  He lost his faith in God many years ago.  I encouraged him to seek the Truth, but, alas, he did not!  Now, I have no hope of seeing him in Glory!  I loved him dearly, but God’s Law clearly states that only overcomers, or saints, shall walk the streets of gold (1 Corinthians 6:9-11; Colossians 3: 5-10; Revelation 21:7,8,27).  O my beloved nephew!  O that you would have sought the Lord and I could look forward to our heavenly reunion!  O how this pains my grieving heart!

And, sadly, in times like these, professing Christians are of no comfort.   One elderly “Christian” couple showed emotional sympathy but offered me NO spiritual words of comfort.   God’s Word was never offered to comfort my grieving soul.  Instead, they urged me to attend a local support group for those who have lost loved ones.   Incidentally, they attend a Rick Warren (apostate) church.  Listen, dear friend, especially in times like these, the secular world can offer me nothing to comfort my aching heart.  My reply to these “Christians” was my balm is listening to hymns on CDs.

Another professing Christian told me not to be sad because God wants us to be happy. 

These “Christians” are pathetic comforters.  But this is not the purpose of this letter.  The purpose of this letter is to ask you…

Dear friend, where is your eternal destination – heaven or hell?  Have you repented and overcome sin?  O hear the Word of the Lord…

As many as I love,

I rebuke and chasten:

be zealous therefore, 

and repent.

Behold, I stand at the door, and knock:

if any man hear my voice,

and open the door,

I will come in to him,

and will sup with him,

and he with me.

To him that overcometh

will I grant to sit with me in my throne,

even as I also overcame,

and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Revelation 3:19-21

Dear friend, are you living for Christ daily?   Have you overcome sin or has sin overcome you?

He that overcometh shall inherit all things;

and I will be his God,

and he shall be my son.

But the fearful,

and unbelieving,

and the abominable,

and murderers,

and whoremongers,

and sorcerers,

and idolaters,

and all liars,

shall have their part in the lake

which burneth with fire and brimstone:

Which is the second death.

Revelation 21:7,8

Is your heart right with God?  If not, seek the Lord today.
