Have I done all I can?

This is the great question for me. I'm well secure in my salvation and feel that blessed assurance of my soul, so my question then becomes when the time comes that God calls me home will I have done all I can for the kingdom of Heaven? I often read the story of John Wesley's death with great affection. Not because Wesley died, but because as Wesley laid in bed dying, he still fought the fight for God's Kingdom and God's people. As one of (and some say his final) acts before death, John Wesley wrote this to Willam Wilberforce:

Dear Sir:

Unless the divine power has raised you up to be as “Athanasius against the world,” I see not how you can go through your glorious enterprise in opposing that execrable villainy, which is the scandal of religion, of England, and of human nature. Unless God has raised you up for this very thing, you will be worn out by the opposition of men and devils. But if God be for you, who can be against you? Are all of them stronger than God? O be not weary of well doing! Go on, in the name of God in the power of His might, till even American slavery (the vilest that ever saw the sun) shall vanish away before it.

Reading this morning a tract wrote by a poor African, I was particularly struck by the circumstance, that a man who has black skin, being wronged or outraged by a white man, can have no redress; it being a LAW in our Colonies that the OATH of a black man against a white goes for nothing. What villainy is this!

That He who has guided you from youth up may continue to strengthen you in this and all things is the prayer of, dear sir,

Your affectionate servant,

John Wesley

William Wilberforce was a member of the British Parliament actively engaged in the quest to end slavery within the British Empire. This letter to him written by Wesley was written only 6 days before Wesley himself died. Wesley a long time Abolitionist wrote his final letter in an attempt to encourage someone he viewed as working for the betterment of God's kingdom. I find it so mesmerizing because I can only pray that God develops such willpower in me. There are times that I could choose to encourage or uplift someone but I rather just sit aside and relax. I pray that God develops my heart so that when I'm breathing my last breath, I can pass on words of encouragement to those still fighting the good fight for God's Kingdom here as I head towards that house not made with human hands.
