Jesus wants a relationship with all of us. There is a Greek word in the New Testament, agapaō, which in English is Agape. The Agape Jesus is asking of us is unconditional love (1 Corinthians chapter 13).
This, I believe, is the key to heaven.
Pray from your Heart, “Say what you mean and mean what you say!”
The more power, the brighter the lamp. The more prayer, the brighter the soul.

The words
Help
Of everything in this prayer, this is the only line the Lord goes back to. Mercy is poured out without measure, but it cannot enter a heart that will not let it pass through. We are asking to be forgiven exactly as we forgive.
“For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.”
Matthew 6:14–15
