Jesus is coming back and man, is he ticked!

Jesus is coming back and man, is he ticked!
This morning in church our associate pastor asked us a question. 'If you were able to sit with Jesus, face to face, knees touching knees, what do you think he would say to you?" Interesting question. He offered a few suggestions of what some of us might be thinking. "I'm sure he's mad at me." "He'd ask me when I'm going to get my act together?"
Of course, he reminded us that Christ's heart toward us is full of love and grace which is not based on our performance. But long after church I can't get the question out of my mind. It might be because I am starting to plan out my next book and the heart of the message is bring all of who you are to Christ. Bring the good girl and the bad girl who live within you, bring the honorable man and the cheat, bring your shadows and your light. Don't you think it would be sad to live our whole lives as believers and miss the point-that as we are right now with what we love and what we hate about ourselves, we are loved by God?
So, I think if I sat down right now with Jesus, face to face, knees touching knees he would say to me, "I love you so much. I never stop thinking about you." I believe that's what he'd say to you too.
