*just repent and try to get to know Jesus, that he remembers you, when you meet him. The past is passed*
If Jesus wasn’t there for her how would he remember her?

I had a pretty lousy childhood, and even at a really young age, I would call out to God to help me. Things never seemed to get better, but I still continued to call out to God. Fast forward 40 years, and I was back home visiting family. I decided to drive by the house I grew up in. As I reached the house, “Lord”, I prayed, “ I don’t hold it against you, but why didn’t you help me when I prayed to You as a child? We were so miserable!” I did not hear an audible reply, but as clear as a bell, the Lord spoke to my heart. He said, “I did help you. You don’t know what would have happened if I hadn’t.”
I can’t tell you how much that comforted me. My mind flashed back to the times my mother had threatened to kill herself. That alone would have caused a cascade of events of untold disaster. God is so good! Because we all have free will, people commit sins and evil. I know it hurts God’s heart to see us suffer. But there is redemption from our suffering in Jesus. Eternity is never-ending. My and my sibling’s sufferings lasted, in the scheme of eternity, but a moment, but we will have forever to have peace and joy in the presence of the Lord. To me, that’s an awesome trade off.
