When YOU Stand Before Me, What Will Your Thoughts Be



If someone were to come up to YOU and ask, are YOU ready for Jesus Christ’s Return?  What would your response be, have YOU given it much thought?  Let’s say, YOU have accepted His Free Gift of Salvation, and I pray YOU have.  Are YOU truly ready for Jesus Christ’s Return?  If YOU stood before Jesus Christ, and He looked YOU in your eyes, and He asked YOU, well My Child, tell Me about yourself.  What would YOU say?  After all, He knows everything about YOU, so why ask this?  Would YOU tell Him, about yourself, at this time in your Life?  Telling Him about your family, your friends, that YOU attend a Church, and try to help others, as YOU can, etc.  Would YOU tell Him about the “not so good side” of YOU?  The sins YOU commit, how YOU don’t make it to Church as often as YOU should, and how YOU don’t always treat others, as YOU should.  That YOU don’t share about Him, as often as YOU should, and YOU don’t share about His Free Gift of Salvation, because YOU don’t wish to seem “preachy”.  Would YOU tell Him, that even though YOU commit some sins, overall, YOU are a “good person”?  Would YOU tell Him, when YOU accepted Him, as your Lord and Savior, and when YOU followed Him, in Believer’s Baptism?  What if He asked YOU: and what does this mean, to YOU?  Would your answer be: it means, I’m blessed, because I have the privilege to live with YOU, for Eternity?  Would your answer be: Lord, though I don’t deserve it, but because of your Love for me, and your desire to have me with YOU, I can be, thank YOU Lord, for dying for me.  Would YOU drop to your knees, place your forehead upon the ground, your hands extended on the ground?  Then say something like: Lord Jesus, I’m not worthy to be in Your Presence, thank YOU, thank YOU, thank YOU, for dying for me, thank YOU for Blessing me, far beyond what I’m worthy of.  I have looked forward to meeting YOU, Face-to-Face, my entire Life.  Now that I’m in Your Presence, I truly cannot believe it.  Is it true, is this simply a dream?  What should I do, when this ultimate dream, desire, has come true?  I have felt Your Presence, practically my whole Life.  In my darkest times, and my most joyous moments, I felt Your Presence, was I right?  I know I didn’t do everything in a “righteous” way, but I tried my best to do so.  I cannot say that my Faith, never dwindled, because that would be a lie, YOU know when it did, without a doubt.  Did I always share, Your Message, Your Free Gift of Salvation, with others, no Lord, I didn’t.  Did I always treat people with Love, even when they were not showing Love to me, no Lord, I didn’t. Did I forgive people, for All the sin or wrongdoings, they committed against me, no Lord, I didn’t.  Did I hold on to wrongdoings against me, without forgiving and forgetting, yes Lord, I did.  Did I worry about things, without giving them over to YOU, knowing YOU would take care of it, yes Lord, I did.  Did I shine Your Light, by my walk, by my talk, by my written word, by my every breath, yes Lord, to the best of my ability, I did.  Do I Love YOU, with All my heart, mind, body, and Soul (or Spirit), yes Lord, I certainly do!  Now Lord, what more can I do, for YOU?
