A few days ago, I gathered with a family around their very loved patriarch. There were smiles mixed with tears as their were sweet stories mingled with the sad reality. The one overriding note was that he was very soon to see King Jesus.
The family, through their tears, could see clearly the blessing that was about to be bestowed upon the beloved head of their family. He would stand before and shout praises to the One he had served so long and loved so deeply. As much as they loved him and wished he had a little more time here on earth, they were thrilled that he would soon see the King.
His reality is your reality, by the way. Regardless of how welcome that thought may or may not be just now, the Lord clearly affirms "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven" (Mark 14:62).
You may not live to see Him arrived in the clouds when He returns to earth, likely you will see Him at the right hand of the Father in glory as leave this earth in death, but you will see Him and that day is not really very far off. Life is short and each day it gats shorter and passes more quickly.
So, are you ready to see King Jesus? Are you anxiously looking forward to seeing Him or does the thought fill you with anxiety? You know He loves you, right? And He loves you just as you are but still may be calling you to leave where you are. A mother loves her child even when she has to discipline him/her. A mother will love her son even when he is on death row. Her love never changes even when the child needs desperately to change. Do you? Is your life moving toward the life of King Jesus or away?
Your audience with the King is drawing near, are you drawing near to Him - that is the most important question of your life. Jus' Sayn.
