Those eyes, that smile and a face that we cannot see while still this side of Glory.  What will He look like, will it be a hug after He tells me to get up from my face before Him?  Will I be able to breathe or will I be unable to fill my chest with air?  How will I be able to contain myself when He looks through me in judgment, laying my entire life bare?  Will He find me worthy of expressing those wonderful words or will He remind me of how time and again I served myself?  Will He tell me to go wait on the bench for my friends and family to arrive?

What can I leave behind and take with me at the same time?  Relationships, education, service, experiences, shared love, will that cache be large or my treasures be few?  Will those on earth mourn my loss, dance in delight at my graduation or just forget me for never having done anything memorable.  Will I approach Him in purity, righteousness and confidence or in the shame of my sin?  I know that I am going to Jesus.  I want it to be in joy, celebration and relief not in apprehension.

Oh Precious Lord I pray that I use well the time here that You’ve given me.  Let me arrive before you in peaceful expectation. May my regret be minimal because I surrendered my life to you in time to accomplish many things for the Kingdom.   I pray that I will not look away but accept Your righteous judgment as a man who truly knows that he did the best that he could through Your Holy Spirit.  For You Lord.  King of Kings, Jesus.
