A person was invited to gaze into the face of the Savior. They could not do it, for they feared judgement and rejection from the Lord. Yet, they dutifully continued to serve him. The invitation was repeated over and over, but the person could not look in the face of Christ. They felt too unworthy.
Finally on their deathbed the invitation came again. This time, with death at hand, the person looked into the face of Jesus. To their surprise, they saw no condemnation, no rejection, only love.
They cried like a baby. They cried for the joy of being forgiven and accepted. And, they cried because they had lived their entire life without the joy that could have been theirs had they simply seen the Savior for who he was.
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
