DEAR GOD: May I Sit Here With You?

 

 
 
Matthew 10:32 (NKJV)
 “Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.”
 
 
 
 We are so grateful for this day Lord…for Your love and for another day to serve You. So thank you God.
 
 
 
 
It is incomprehensible to grasp the intensity of Your unconditional love, but it is so easy to be loved by You. Your infinite wisdom envelops our souls.  You harness our very being with freedom and truth, as we parade throughout the day in honor of You.
****
As Creator of heaven and earth, Jesus was far greater than the Sabbath, a day that was instituted to remember His work of creation.  Jesus is the Lord of all, and the Sabbath was intended to honor Him.  And, rest in the Lord…feel peace in His presence. Give thanks to the Almighty God… for everything give supplication in prayer to the Lord our God.
****
Imagine sitting on a bench speaking with Jesus today. 
Would you know what to do? 
Would you know what to say? 
How would you react? 
Would you be comfortable in His presence face to face?
*****
Sitting on a bench with Jesus.  First thing I would say is “I love You my Lord and Savior, thank You.”  And, kiss his very feet.  I think the next thing I would do is ask,  “have I  pleased You thus far?  And, if not- what might I do to change that?
****
Each day as we walk on  earth  we should try to ask “What would Jesus do?”  Think spiritually…always spiritually.
What would He say to a person in need?  What would He do concerning a situation were facing?  What would He think?  How would He act? How would He feel?
*****
In living like Christ, as we follow His doctrine and  gospel, are we in fact really doing what He would do or say?
Are we in fact walking in the righteous way of which He would be proud?
*****
If He sat near you this very day on a bench in the park…are you ready to speak to Him and not hang your head in shame?  Would it be easy in His magnificent presence knowing youve done all you can to uphold His ways and choices in life?  Think about that for a moment. What would you do if Jesus were sitting near you right now, at this very moment?
*****
Overwhelming isn’t it?  My heart swells with love that is beyond expression of any kind.  It is difficult to put into words the depths of love  for Jesus Christ, our Savior and King of Kings.  He will be coming again…soon, we are getting near.  We are living in the fig tree generation…and it will be anytime now. 
*****
Jesus told us to “learn about the fig tree generation”… All signs point to it, all of what Jesus told us, warned us repeatedly, every chance He hadin between all of the miracles He performed…It’s coming to fruition.
And, realize that there will be many who will come in His name claiming to be Christ. 
*****
Be aware and wise beloved… realize that the false prophets will be very tricky.  Always keep your eyes open, be watchmen.  Listen to the Father’s word for therein lies the truth, and all we need to know concerning our very salvation.
****
Jesus is coming back again…we need to recognize HIS voice, and follow our Shepherd.
Be aware of false ones, and do not be deceived! Christ warns us repeatedly about being deceived.  Walk in His ways and heed His words, obey His commandments and be ready for Him always. “Be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves” Matthew 10:16 (NKJV)
****
Our Father loves us.
****
And all He wants for His unmerited favor, endless compassion, and altruistic  love,is for us to love Him back…He gave us His book, and the “Holy Spirit” to guide us and be with us, our Comforter.  How amazing is that?  How amazing is He?
****
He is our Savior, our safety net, our Rock, our Protector, our Guide, our Father, our love, our Redeemer, our Very Own…and He loves us.  Our Everything…and AGAIN– all He wants in return for all of this and more is your obedience to Him, your faith…and your love.  That’s all…that’s it.
Does it get any better than that?
*****
Jesus, I’m ready to sit with you on that bench right now.
My brothers and sisters,  are you ready to sit with Jesus today?
