Daydreaming About The Day I Finally Get To Meet Jesus Face To Face

 I can’t imagine, but I’m trying to picture the long-awaited moment, when after a life-time of serving a God I have never seen but have believed in and loved with all my heart… I will finally meet Him face to face.

When my time on this Earth comes to an end, whenever that may be, I will be ushered into His Presence. I will hear his audible voice for the first time, calling me by name. Oh, how sweet to hear my name spoken by my Love, my Father, my Friend. I will run to Him with outstretched arms, unable to hold back the tears of joy and relief. I will throw myself into His mighty loving arms, the arms that have brought me comfort my whole life. I will finally feel his strong tender hands- the hands that have led me through the joys and heartbreaks of life-  holding me close against His chest. I will soak it all in. The sound of His voice, His smell, the sight of perfection. I will slowly fall down at His feet - feet that were nailed to the cross while He willingly surrendered His life in exchange for mine. The very act that made this moment possible.

Finally after a life-time of believing that Jesus is real, that Jesus is the Son of God, that Jesus is my Savior, and that Jesus is preparing a place for me in Heaven, my faith is rewarded by the reality of it all. Finally, I get to see with my own eyes, hear with my own ears, feel with my own hands the wonder of it all. I express with relief, “I knew it was true. Somewhere deep in my heart, I just knew every Word was true.”

And I will worship my God.  My heart will burst with the most complete and utter joy. My soul will sing. I will be overwhelmed by His Presence. Everything will be right at long last. Perfect fulfillment, glorious worship with my Savior and all the inhabitants of His Kingdom… forever.
