I DON’T KNOW YOU!

By Anita Mondragon
 
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘LORD, LORD,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘LORD, LORD, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’-Matthew 7:21-23
 
You speak to me and call out my name when others are around;
 
In pious tones, you thank me that you’re not like those OTHER sinners…there…kneeling on the ground. 
But…I don’t know you. 
You’re self-righteous, full of pride…oozing with conceit. 
You’d never bow, or smite your breast; you’d never humbly entreat. 
No…I don’t know you. 
I called out to you for many years before you tried to do things your own way; 
Before you relied upon yourself, you heard the things I’d say… 
But…I don’t know you. 
You did things in my name, but they were done for YOUR honor and glory. 
Now, here you stand before me, telling me you’re sorry. 
But…I don’t know you. Read more…
