I don’t want to leave you out…Is this a bad time for you now? Or may I ask you a question? My question is…












Have you ever thought about if Christ came back today, how would you feel, or what would you do or what’s the first thing you would say or ask Him?

If this is to personal for you then by all means pass and don't reply, but if you been desiring for some time to express yourself, then nothing here is to embarrassing...

I never think of things like this because He would never come back now. The rapture happens next, then after the trial and tribulation, then the 2nd advent happens. So no, I never think about things like this because I know the plan of God.

If Christ were sitting right here with me (which He is) and I could get that through my darn brain (which I can't) I think I would be a different person. I think my heart would be on the floor from pounding out with love for Christ and for others; from the love pouring out of me. That is if my walk were good. If he came just now; I would be embrarrassed and ashamed because I've been in the valley for so long and have so many fears. He would take those fears away from me, if He saw me face to face, and He already is here, so it's just a matter of me changing. Anyway, that's my story. :blush:

OK then, what you were to die today and you met Jesus in Heaven. What would you say to him?

Then I think it is time you do something about it. If you believe that if you were to meet Jesus today and you would be embarassed, and you are not doing anything about it, then he would also be ashamed of you. It is that what you want?

Are we not all sinners? Do we not all come short of the glory of God? We all sin, there's no way around it.

Matthew 7:1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

We have no say in who is worthy of meeting Christ, only he does. :)

If you were to meet Jesus today how would you feel? I just put out my heart. No need to stomp on it. If that's what you meant. If not, sorry. Tapero

Thank you JonathanM. God bless you!

Thank you for your time 'tapero'. Can I ask you a question? If so, my question is...What is this valley you refer to? :thumbsup:

I have been in a valley of fear for about 2 years; maybe more. Fear is unbelief in a sense; and I was on top of the world with Christ, with the Holy Spirit; my faith was strong; and then this fear crept in.

I spiritualized the fear and it became good versus evil. I can't go into much of it publicly and to someone it might sound trivial but because of the incident that caused the fear, I have been in a spiritual valley. I am slowly coming out of that.

I appreciate you asking me. It's something I've got to get over; to totally trust Christ with my life.Thank you for asking and we can pm if you like to know more.

God bless, Tapero

Dear Mysheep,

I forgot to say that being in the valley means I am not in God's word as I should be (more), and I am not praying like I should be. So I am far from Christ being in this valley. I used to enjoy strong fellowship all the time. Just thought I would explain myself a little more.

How do you feel when you continue in His Word and pray like you should be?

I have not really thought about it. I mean, I talk to Jesus all the time. My thoughts are always directed to him.

So...I guess I might say "good to finally meet you in person"
Guess what humbleservant? Isn't it ironic that when we meet Him, He knows that we were always thinking of Him all the time?

I would feel a mix of emotions.
I'ld be ever so happy....so happy I could not explain in words (or at least my vocabulary is not strong enough to describe in words). I'm sure I would cry from joy.
I would also feel pretty bad also and cry because I'm truely not worth being in the presence of our Lord. He is so spotless and clean yet no matter what I can never get rid of all my dirt.
Another thing I would feel would be extreme awe. I mean wow look who would be standing in front of me that would be like nothing I could ever explain.


What would I do? I'ld most likely fall at His feet crying for the reasons stated above. I'ld be kissing His feet.

What would I say? I'ld just ask that I get to remain with Him. I'm not sure I could ask or say any thing else except please let me stay with you.

God bless!

Now this is pouring out your heart and soul to Him, which is how He desires for His sheep to express themselves. Being nonchalant as if we are familiar with Him like a relative seen at a family reunion seems unentusiastic. But to each his own. Raist, I'm not ashamed to also pour all my emotions out, because I want Him to see me for who I truly am, and no holding back.
