“”As I find you I will judge you.” Behold the value of a moment. Did He find you in repentance? Did He meet you in confession? Did See reach you saying “I have sinned against heaven and before you”? Did He approach you when you had tears of genuine repentance and self-reproach in your eyes? Behold it is in one moment that God makes His decision. “The Lord is faithful in all his words.”

However, if he finds you otherwise, oh man, then the eyes of your soul will open and you will see that you have lost – but what is the use? If God condemns a person repentance is futile; with a pair of life ends words are pointless. It is all over!”
