Have you ever longed with every fiber of your being to be able to see Jesus? To see our Heavenly Father? Oh to be able to look into their loving faces and thank them for all that they gave up for you and me? There is a story in the Bible of one such man that wanted to see God's face and he told God so. Here is an account of that story. Or at least part of it found in Exodus 33: 18-23
And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy. And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passes by, that I will put thee in a cleft of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by: And I will take away my hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. "
God was so kind and gentle with Moses. Lovingly placing His hand upon him in the cleft of the rock. Oh how I wish I could feel the hand of Jesus tenderly covering me. There will be a day when I will know what this is like. However; I may not be able to physically feel or see this that way that Moses did. But when we pray and we ask God to be there and put His loving arms around us, He surely does. And when we have been this close to Jesus what do you think happens?
"After Moses had been with God for forty days and nights on the mountain and received the ten commandments he came down from the mountain. His face was so bright the people were afraid. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him." Exodus 34:29-30
It is my prayer and I hope that it is yours too that as you spend more and more time with Jesus and our loving Heavenly Father that you will feel His glory shinning down upon you. That we may illuminate His character and His compassion and His love to all those we come in contact with each and everyday. And I promise that as you overcome sin.... Well guess what I don't promise but our loving Father does in His precious Bible His love letter to us, that we WILL see Him.
"Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." Matthew 5:9
There you have it. How do we receive a pure heart? Through the free gift of Jesus precious blood. Except it and believe. Let Jesus in your heart to be your best friend. One more promise tonight and it is found in Revelation.
And I saw a new Heaven and a new earth: for the first Heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem coming down from God out of Heaven prepared as a bride adorned for here husband. And I heard a great voice out of Heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of God is with men. and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes: and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain. for the fomer things are passed away.
and He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new , And He said unto me Write: for these words are true and faithful. And He said unto me" It is done. I am Alpha and Omega . The beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athrist of the fountain of the water of life. freely.
"He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God , and he shall be my son." Revelation 21:7
I will be His daughter. What do you choose today?? Would you like to be His child? His son or daughter?
