I know that I have a lot to answer for when I meet Jesus and the Heavenly Father in Heaven. I so hope that their GRACE and MERCY will extend in that moment, because the truth is I'm guilty. (Jesus intercedes on our behalf and although we are guilty, He has paid the price, penalty, and punishment for sin). Besides the most important reason for having a relationship with Christ, I often wonder what Jesus thinks when we do the things God created us for.
Like my earthly father loves when I'm having fun or when I'm helping someone through a crisis. My dad says it makes him proud or happy when I'm enjoying myself or knowing that the values he instilled in me I put into action; so I wonder what Jesus is thinking when we sing, or praise God, or feed the hungry, visit the sick, clothe the naked, visit the prisoners, etc.
I wonder if he laughs at our jokes or applauds us when we do a good job. Is he cheering us on when we are trying to overcome an obstacle or is he learning the latest dance step right along with us.
On this new journey I'm on I'm making it my purpose to not put Jesus in a box, but I'm also no longer going to try and make Him this untouchable mythological creature either. I want Jesus to be exactly who he is (God, once a man, Lord, Savior, God's Son) and who I want him to be in my life (friend, present help, counselor, and someone who understands). I want to believe that he does all those things I named and more. I want to believe that he is pleased with my trying to live this life the right way.
What I really imagine is what it is like to hear Jesus sing and what our response would be.
Lord what do you think about this???
