How cool would it be if you died and were in front of the throne of God, and instead of pleading your case, before you even spoke a word out of your mouth, God looked at you and said, "I knew you. I know you. I saw your efforts. I saw your flaws. I saw your failures, but I know you, and you know me, outdone my good and faithful servant."
