MR. GOODNESS AND MR. MERCY

A faithful Christian lady told the preacher on her death bed that she felt like two demons were always around her. She said that when she died she felt like those demons were going to escort her to hell. The preacher was disturbed and couldn't understand her terrors. That night he found Psalm 23:6: Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

He came to her room the next day and said, "Those are not two demons but Mr. Surely Goodness and Mr. Mercy, and when you die, they are going to escort you to heaven." She died later that day in peace.
