Have you ever thought about meeting Jesus? Not the experience, but in person, face to face. I am sure your expression when you see him will be a Kodak moment. I am sure you will feel honored and blessed, as tho you were the chosen one. This has been the answer to all those prayers you said, the lent you observed, the reward for keeping him in your heart.
But my question here would be, "Do u deserve to see Jesus?".
Of Course!!! That is the immediate response. I have been a nice person, always went to church every Sunday, prayed before and after my meals, said the rosary everyday... I am more religious than my parish priest. But does all this make you eligible to see Jesus? Believe me, by that definition you aren't the only one who deserves to see him.
Jesus has always maintained, "Love one another as i have loved you". "Love thy enemy". "Forgive". "You get slapped on one cheek, offer the other". "Give up all your belongings and follow me". "Spread the word of God". How many of us have followed this selfless path in our day to day life? We are so prone to be "Religious" and observing our Christian duties meticulously, that we forget one very important thing. Jesus never came here to form a new religion. He came here to show us the way to live life. He taught us by living it himself. All we need to do is follow.
Praying isn't enough, talk about him. Fasting isn't enough, feed. Living your life religiously isn't enough, be of service to others. Help someone you have no reason to help. Carry all your burdens as though it were your cross. Help others carry theirs. Make Jesus want to meet. You will be deserving.
