I’ve been sitting here waiting to be able to drive my truck again.  We are compelled by law to take a 10 hour break at the end of 14 hours of duty ……… wow!  Cool huh?  Ok.  That was a useless heap of garbage to most anyone.  But anyway.  I was sitting here thinking about how useless
we are without God the Father creating the “new man” within us through the work of the Holy Spirit and Jesus’ sacrifice and Lordship.  (I realize that was a bit lengthy.  But credit is due to the One who Is.)

How would you like to appear before the consuming fire that is God the Father and say, “Well.  Here I am.  I guess I didn’t pay any attention  to Your things.  I’m just a derrilect of righteousness and pure holiness.  I’ve trashed Your Holy name time and again.  I’ve killed my fellow men with the words I’ve spoken.  I’ve neglected to do what is right and just.  I laughed at Your Holy Son and His people.  And I just seem to have appeared here before Your Blazing Throne of Purity and Holy Love.  I’d like to say I’m sorry.  But I realize that it was Your will for me that I would look for You in that life I lived.”

Or maybe you’ll be stupid enough to say something like this:  “Wow man!  Cool!  I didn’t think You were real dude”.

What might be His response?   Do the marketing thingy: “Just Imagine”.

By His Grace.
