Well said.
We leave it up to God. It is His universe, His rules and His way. We are all judged according to His standards.
I am a sinner. I repent of it every day. I cannot be saved without the Grace of God; that is why I am grateful every day for being baptized. My parents cared enough to claim me for Christ. I repaid them with rebellion and opposition and stomping my feet. Yet, I was called back.
Yes, I was called, but quietly, with a nudge here and a nudge there. God let me have a taste of discomfort (!), but for the most part, He guided me gently and steadily. And I have been rewarded far beyond my deserving. That is yet another reason that I believe so strongly. I don’t know how good a Job I’d make, but I pray that I never have to find out.

Yes, I couldn't have said it better. I wish I could remember to do as you have said more often - it is easy to place God in "second place" as life goes by. Posts such as yours helps.
