"Do you think I will be allowed into the kingdom of God? In any case, this kingdom here on earth is good enough for me. I know I have a place here, maybe I am fooling myself but for me it is the here and now that matters." This was part of a conversation with a woman who had chosen a profession that was not acceptable to the community that she was part of. Maybe she did not remember Matthew 21:31 where Jesus says that tax collectors and prostitutes will enter the kingdom of God way ahead of the others or maybe she had lost all hope. Whatever the case may be, similar questions plague each of us as we plow our way through life.
