Jesus is mine.

I really want to go to heaven. It’s because, Jesus will be there; in the flesh! Heh! One day I was thinking about this, as I often do, when I realized something horrible. Jesus won’t have time for me! I know, I know, that escalated quickly but let me explain..

Think about heaven. Okay, you have the picture?- streets of gold, pomegranates (whatever fruit this is) etc etc. (Read Rev. 21 and 22). Okay, but think about the people who are going to be in heaven! I mean Abraham; the father of faith, Moses; the meekest man, David; the man after God’s own heart. Remember Daniel? What about Paul?! Not to mention all the thousands of martys. The Bible also says that:

KJV Revelation 7
God’s People at His Throne
9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands;

Can you tell where I’m going with this? I mean heaven will have a looot of people. I’m not complaining and infact let’s observe a moment of silence to pray for one person you think really needs to come to Jesus………………………Amen.

Back to my point, in view of all the above, a voice in my head asked, How will Jesus have time for me? Me?! While there’s Enock and John and Simon Peter? (I really hope you are getting me, otherwise I can only imagine how weird I sound.😹) Anyway, and by time with Jesus, I really mean lengthy, quiet, alone time.

But dear reader, my fears have been quietened. I don’t know how Jesus will do it, but I know He will. Why? Well because, Jesus may be the Saviour of the world, but He is my Saviour. He may be the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, but He is also the God of Daisy. And I believe Jesus wants to spend alone time with me too.

How do I know all this? Well, because I serve the Jesus of the Bible. And when I read my Bible, I see a Jesus who wanted to sit alone with the woman at the well so He sent His disciples to buy bread. I see a Jesus, who did preach in the multitude but still enjoyed so much to retire in Bethany with just Mary, Martha and Lazarus. I see a Jesus who says He calls me by my name, numbers the hair of my head and notices when even one sparrow falls. I don’t know about you, but Jesus sounds like Man in love; the exclusive type of love. He is in love with the world but He is in love with me.

I thank God for godly friends. I shared this concern with two and they both reminded me of this:

The relations between God and each soul are as distinct and full as though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His watchcare, not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son. SC 100.1

One day, I’ll get to heaven
One day I’ll see my Jesus
You may miss me for a year or seven
Cause we’ll need time alone; forgive us.

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine guys!
