James 4:8
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.
Imagine you are sitting in a room full of people and Jesus walks in. What would you do?
The man sitting across from you looks up, sees Jesus and goes back to reading his newspaper. He knows who it is but is not ready to get involved with Him.
The girl on her Iphone doesn't even look up. She is not interested in anything but the latest post on social media.
The door opens and a young man looks in, sees Jesus, and turns around and walks back out the door. He's not going to change his lifestyle and he knows Jesus might want him to.
The 2 kids playing with their action figures don't even know who Jesus is. Their grandma looks away with feelings for remorse and guilt.
Now me, I would jump up, offer Him my seat, and sit down as close to Him as I could. I would sit on His lap if He let me. Imagine hearing His breath, feeling His heartbeat as He wrapped His arms around me.
The words from the song "I can only Imagine" come to my mind as I write this post.
What would you do?
Jesus, my Lord and Savior. I know the day will come when I will be standing in front of You. When my days here on earth are done and You call me home to Heaven to be with You forever. I pray that I accomplished all You prepared in advance for me to do in such a way that Your name will be lifted high and glorified. Lead me on this journey and I will follow.
Amen
