That day, will have
Enough concern (of his own)
To make him indifferent
To the others.
S.80 A.37
This has always been a very difficult concept for me, potentially the greatest obstacle to my faith - the eventual separation of my family and God. Perhaps I am not yet at the point where my self-esteem accepts the purity of God's love, and I don't yet know the difference between the comfort and support of my family and the eternal embrace of God's grace. I do know that I am still in that immature state of my faith where I cannot understand how I could deserve heaven and others, particularly those I love, could earn hell. And finally, probably unforgiveably, I am not yet at the place where I would choose to be in heaven if my daughters had been sent to hell. I know this is twisted thinking, and I am working contritely to correct my concept of this dilemma - but this is not a battle of logic, it is an issue of faith. I will pray that God increases my faith so that I can understand my unique and personal relationship with Him, and I accept no other responsibility than that of my own fate.
