When I went to go see Mark a few days ago, Mark called me Nellie. I asked him to look at me and then asked, "who am I." He said Melynda. I told him you just called me Nellie. He said, "I did, I'm sorry." I told him that that was ok, I call you Charles or Sunnie sometimes and I don't mean to. Last night my brother Charles went in to see Mark. Mark kept asking to see Charles. Even though Charles was in front of him, Mark did not know that was him. Mark kept asking Charles where are you. Charles kept saying I am right here. Mark did not know Charles. Mark kept telling Charles, "you're not Charles, go get Charles." And Charles tried to reasure Mark that he was indeed Charles. Mark did not believe him. This is the first time this has happend to any of us, my brother Charles was devastated. He cried from deep sorrow. As I woke up this morning, I was thinking how God says, "I knew you before you were born." Jeremiah 1:5. "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart;" This scripture also pertains to us. Then I thought how the bible says "I never knew you."Matthew 7:21 "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of the my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles? Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you, Away from me, you evildoers!" To be able to come before God and for him to know me, I have to surrender my heart to him and there will be no doubt that he will know me.
