We shall, therefore, all be recognized by Him in glory, and should there be any lack of

recognition on our part, will that not instantly be rectified in His presence? Recognition

of others, is vitally connected with our own personal identity. If I shall be the same

person in glory, that sinned and believed on earth, then I shall remember it and know it,

otherwise my identity will be a myth. Without memory, identity is impossible. But I

cannot remember my past life without remembering others, and if this be so, my own

identity being preserved in glory, guarantees the recognition of other identities too. So,

we say to all to whom this matter has been a problem:

We can surely expand this comforting note to cover other things "If it were not so", if

there be no recognition in heaven, He Who knows our hearts and our legitimate longings,

He "would have told" us.
