Let me take you on a journey which you will surely make. One day. You don't know when, but for certain you will make that journey. We may not know the day or the hour, and we may hope it is a long way off, but for certainty, one day, we will all make that journey.
The day we get to meet God. Face to face.
You ... and the Creator of the universe and all that is in it. Including you.
How will you feel that day?
Will you be filled with trepidation, your heart pounding, at a loss for words, not knowing what to say? Will you wonder and fear what He will say to you? And how you will react to His voice and to what He says?
Or will you be joyful? At last you're in Heaven. Are you so presumptuous and certain of your fate and destination? Will you give yourself a mental thumbs up that all is going to be well for you?
How will this feeling, justified as it may well be, affect your attitude, your demeanour and behaviour as you get to meet your Maker?
Would you still meet Him with trepidation or act as if meeting a long lost friend from school or the golf club?
How will your thankful heart proclaim your feelings? In silence? In song? In words? What would you say?
Will you say "thank you Lord" or will your mouth and tongue dry up in the presence of such Majesty of your Creator God?
Will your mind and your very being be able to comprehend the awesomeness of the situation and the beginning of a new journey into eternity?
For one certainty there is. We will all make that journey.
Are you ready for yours?
I have talked to God as far back as I can remember and though I hope that my final journey is still decades away, I will then look forward to meeting my savior Jesus Christ and all of my loved ones who reside therein with Him...but I will be sad to leave the ones that I love here on earth.
ReplyDeleteGod's Blessings Victor~
Really wonderful sentiments, Jan. God bless you and yours always.
DeleteAm I ready? Honestly, I'd have to answer, "Not yet."
ReplyDeleteYours is a great, gentle challenge!
Thank you for your honesty, Mevely. I feel the same like you.
DeleteThank you also for the kind compliment.
God bless you always.
Your post here today, Victor, reminds me of the song "I Can Only Imagine." Have you ever heard it?
ReplyDeleteThank you for reminding us of what lies ahead in life, and that we should be as prepared as we can be to meet our Maker.
Have a blessed Sunday!
Just checked and heard the song, Martha. I just wondered how we would react when we're there face to face with God. Would we really be able to speak? And what would we say? He can read our minds anyway.
DeleteGod bless you, Martha.
Life's final test, I don't feel like I'm ready but will we ever feel ready. I hope so.
ReplyDeleteGood point, Bill ... would we ever be ready?
DeleteGod bless you and yours.
When i stand at the throne, the only thing that i can say is i trust in Jesus, my Deliverer, my Redeemer. Not for anything that i have done, but because of His mercy, He has paid what i owe.
ReplyDeleteWell said, Mimi.
DeleteGod bless.
I was writing my comment and then noticed Mimi's comment. AMEN to all she said. I believe as she does.
DeleteIf I die today, I know I'll be in heaven. Not because I'm better than anyone, we are ALL sinners, but because God promises it.
I understand and agree, Happyone. But I wonder what would we say then, when we meet Him.
DeleteGod bless.
The first thing, I would fall on my knees and say THANK YOU!!
DeleteAmen.
DeleteGod bless.
I would be thrilled to be in Heaven immediately, but figure I'll have to do a stretch in Purgatory first. (I hope it's not too long :-)
ReplyDeleteGood thinking, Kathy. Good thinking.
DeleteGod bless you always my friend.
