I published this several years ago. The thought is still current:
------------
My First Thought
When I finally leave this body and stand in the presence of my Father's glory; When He reaches from His throne and draws me to His lap, and I then understand what I could not understand in life: The enormity of His incomprehensible power, the limitlessness of His reign over every fiber of eternity, that no creature in heaven or on earth can open what he shuts or close what He opens . . . that the totality of creation throughout countless galaxies bow at His presence . . .
I think my first thought – when I realize where I am and in whose arms I rest – my first thought will not be shrouded in sorrow for my many sins, for things I did or did not do in life.
I think I will be most sorry that I didn’t trust Him more when I had so many chances to do so.
