The assurance of Heaven is never given to the person. And that's why at the core of the Christian faith is the grace of God.

Ravi ZachariasWe do not live so that we can eat, nor do we just eat so that we can live. Life is worth living in and of itself. Life cannot be satisfied when it is lived out as a consuming entity. When it is filled by that which satisfies a hunger that is both physical and spiritual in a mutuality that sustains both without violation of either, only then can life be truly fulfilling.
