Thoughts on Matthew 7:21-23

Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father Who is in heaven.

Many will say to Me on that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name and driven out demons in Your name and done many mighty works in Your name?

And then I will say to them openly (publicly), I never knew you; depart from Me, you who act wickedly [disregarding My commands]

Christ wants to know me. That's what He desires from me. My attempts to fill the calendar with "God-Sponsered" activity is not a coupon into heaven. "Depart from me," he says. Why? Because I never knew you!

relationship not spiritual handsprings and hoop jumping is God's desire for me today.
