I am meeting my benefactor this coming Sunday for the first time in 14 years. I owe my education to him indirectly. He is the who convinced my father that I should be allowed to go to Calvin College. He also helped pushed my application through an already closed deadline. When I heard that he is coming to preach this Sunday, I feel that I will be called upon to account for my accomplishment since I graduated. It's not that I have not accomplished anything. But I felt my accomplishment is meager compared to the opportunity I have been given.
In my ideal world, I would have liked to show him my Phd, and may be my thriving private practice. Of course I'd also like to keep the family that I have now: a devoted husband and two beautiful and intelligent children who in their immature ways continue to do things that's pleasing to God.
If the idea of meeting him has this effect on me, what would it be like meeting Jesus, my biggest benefactor to whom I owe my life. With much trepidation I can only wonder what he would say. That really put everything in perspective, doesn't it?
