Proverbs 13:12

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.

What Would Jesus say to ME???

My great friend Tami, over at The Next Step, has tagged me to answer this question. I've thought and thought about it, and to tell you the truth, I'm not sure what Jesus would say to me. This question puzzles me. It also scares me. Why can't I think of what Jesus would say to me?? Is it because our relationship isn't strong enough?? Perhaps I don't know Him well enough??? I can think of several great friends that I have, and really have no trouble coming up with some witty, fun, long talks we could have. The words come easy. But why not if I was face to face with my Lord??? Perhaps because when I pray to Him, most of the time my head is down. Sometimes, I bury my face in the floor, feeling like I cannot get low enough, to be in His presence. Like nothing I could do, would be humble enough. How could I possibly come up with the words to say, or even listen if we were face to face. But.......someday we will be. In spite of what I think about myself. He has me covered. His grace will cover all my shame, and take my guilt away. That is hard to even fathom. But with all my heart, I hope to hear Him one day say, "Well done, Rachelle, welcome home".

Those will be beautiful words to hear. I think we each have our own relationship with Jesus. Just like our families are all different.

That IS a challenging question, I agree. I think you answered it perfectly: "Well done, Rachelle, welcome home." Hugs, e-Mom

Wow, when you said no matter what I think of myself, He has me covered...I got chills!! It is good to be humble and feel not worthy, because we are not. But what a Awesome God we serve and how gracious He is to call us HIS own!! Thanks for the reminder. Your special!
