I have received some very beautiful awards for my website. I am deeply honored and appreciative because like everyone else, I also need encouragement. However, the greatest award for me and the award that I am striving for every day of my life is to make Jesus happy and to see Him smile at me when I see Him face to face on that glorious day when I go home to be with Him for all eternity.
I get so excited thinking about seeing Him that sometimes I literally have to make myself stop dwelling on it because my heart starts racing. What an awesome privilege and honor to be loved by the Saviour of the world! Jesus, the one who allowed Himself to be tortured and beaten beyond recognition so that we may have our sins forgiven and assured of a home in Heaven, will give me the greatest award, a smile.
O dear friends, if you aren’t in love with Jesus who is worthy above everyone and everything, then you have not experienced the greatest friendship that you will ever know. He is a friend who will never leave you, not even for a second.
What kind of award will you get when you see Jesus? Will He say to you “Well done, good and faithful servant”? Are you making Him happy by the way you live your life, or are you breaking His heart? Will He be smiling when He sees you?
