Will there be gut sucking in heaven?
When I stand on the Savior’s scale
Will it matter that I overindulged
On things that are worthy of hell?
Will Jesus look at the weighty issues
Like avarice, gluttony and greed?
Will He overlook those extra pounds
As wants substituted as need?
Will God in heaven notice the difference
From the forms I filled out at Pearly gates?
Will He look down at the real numbers
That speaks in kilos, pounds and stone weights?
Will Christ discern the real difference
Will He ascertain that I’m not so light?
Will the Father pay real attention
Will my robe in heaven be too tight?
Such weighty matters concern me
I want to look good for the King
So I stand on balances to see
Does God’s scale measure all things?
Did I reach out to the naked and hungry
Did I soothe the wounded in pain
Or did I further indulge my own pleasures
Adding more to this hefty weight gain?
No there will be no gut sucking in heaven
God measures by heart not by sight
He sees through my veiled self-assessment
He measures perfectly, He gets it right.
Luke 12:2
For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known
1 Corinthians 3:13
Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.
