honestly I’d probably be too busy rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. I love that analogy. I think we would all be pretty much in the same boat (pun intended) I pray for the Lost - but I would pray more for the Lost. I'm going there one day, just trusting! ....Just as I am. I'm going to lean on Who God says He is, and totally on Jesus sacrifice. I'm going to trust in my adoption and that His Name and shed Blood covers me. I will have a heavy heart for what I wish I'd never experienced in life on earth... But I'll trust in whatever correction comes at the Bema seat because we are His and He is Love. He first loved us. He is compassionate. He is our Peace. He drew us to Him for eternity. And if I'm allowed, I will fall at His feet and cry, receiving His endless perfection of Love! Like I read in a you tube comment, I wasted my life. It's too late now; I can't go back and start over and do a better job. I'm hoping the Bema Seat is a private consultation, not like a high school assembly where everybody finds out things that are none of their business. I imagine Him saying something like You realize you wasted your life and haven't earned any rewards? Of course I'll say Yes Sir. Then hopefully He'll just say Very well, you may go on your way. And I'll hightail it out of the room! That is beautiful, Kolleen! I'm hanging onto the fact that our Shepherd is gracious to stupid sheep. Over and over the Bible compares us to sheep. Sheep are always wandering off and getting themselves into trouble. And it’s a known fact that they can’t find their own way back. That’s why they need a shepherd. It’s his job to find them and bring them back at the proper time. Our Shepherd is Jesus (John 10:11), and He does the same for us. When it’s time to go, He’ll round us all up and take us home. He’s promised that He’ll lose none of those who the Father has given to Him (John 6:39-40). (from Jack Kelley)
