The final Inspection

FINAL INSPECTION

Final Inspection
The Policeman stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass.
He hoped his shoes were shining as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, officer. How shall I deal with You?
Have you always turned the other cheek? To my Church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulders and said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't.
Cause those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
But I never took a penny that wasn't mine to keep,
Though I worked a lot of overtime when the bills just got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help, though at times I shook with fear.
And sometimes, God forgive me, I wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here.
They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand.
I've never expected or had too much. But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was silence all around the throne where the saints had often trod.
As the officer waited quietly for the answer of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer, you've borne your burdens well.
Come walk a beat on Heaven's Streets. You've done your time in Hell."

I am a Police Officer, I am a Christian. I am very human, I make mistakes, I fall down and try to get back up again. Sometimes it's difficult. God didn't come to condemn us but to lift us up from the muck of life. Jesus said, I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the father but by me.
I am an FTO,(field training officer) I get the new recruits from school and try to mold them into police officers. I spend several weeks with them, they go off to another person the back to me. I then watch them function on their own basically, I'm now observing them. You see they have to pass by me to get to the end of their training. I put my stamp of approval on them or not.
It's like that with us and Christ. He has the final inspection on them / us. We have to pass an inspection with God. He puts his final stamp of approval on us. For the majority of my life in my jobs I have had to be in an inspection in one way or another. I used to build computer chips, then quality control would inspect them. I made Falcon Pipets, quality control would inspect them, I am a cop now. When I do a report a supervisor inspects a report and suggest changes. I go to court and a judge and two attorneys read what I do and tear it apart. I live and have lived under some form of inspection for the last 23 years of my jobs.
I hope when I get to heaven, God looks at me and says well done. You see it's not the work you do but one simple deed. Its the A,B,C's. Ask, Believe and Confess, after that did you do what you needed to do to pass muster. When you get there then you get looked at. Without the simple act of accepting Christ you could never even make it in the line. It's not our works that gets us in heaven but our simple act of accepting Christ. The works that we do are what we are supposed to do.
Will you pass inspection, have you done what you needed to do? When God looks for your name did you maintain your salvation? Did you try to follow Gods word? Remember in Genesis, "the word was God and the Word was with God." Who and what do you think the Word is? It is Jesus, Jesus is the word, the way and the truth, did you follow the word?
We have an awesome chance for a great life. We have been given a gift, salvation is more than just getting to Heaven. Salvation is also a rescue here on earth. Saved from the fiery darts and slings of the wicked one.
The Bible states that Satan roams the earth to and fro seeking whom he may devour. If you allow him to by NOT protecting your salvation he will try to destroy you. If you put yourself in that place you will pay a price. Salvation is a gift, it came at a very expensive price. Don't throw it away.
Will you pass the final inspection, will your name be read?
When you are poured out and measured, will you be found wanting?
