HOW WILL IT BE WHEN WE MEET HIM?
At some point this year, I went through a surgical procedure. I recall my heart been so at ease as the Holy Spirit reminded me to keep my gaze on the LORD because that way my heart will be at ease.
I vividly recall the Anaesthesiologist in the theatre room whispering, Charity, I will inject some medication into your cannula and in 30 seconds you will go off to sleep. I responded, that’s alright. One dose, I felt heaviness cover my face and chest, final dose, I went off to sleep.
Moments later, I heard whispers in my ears 👂 as though someone was calling me from afar as my name echoed “Charity, Charity, Charity”. I then responded slowly yes yes. Okay ✅ procedure successful. The team responded, we are all done. Thank you, I responded.
This whole experience got me thinking how one day, we will either go to sleep (in the lord) or be raptured. My focus is on going to sleep. When the time comes, we will fall asleep to be with our first love. The thought of this causes everything within me to leap with joy as I imagine how beautiful it will be to see our saviour, the Lord. That day we will be woken up like “Charity, Charity, wake up, see, it is done”. “Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, “It is done!””
Revelation 16:17 NKJV. Just like the Lord said on the cross, it is finished. The relief….As I reflect, echoes of scripture and songs resound in my ears: “Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.”
I John 3:2 NKJV
Lastly, some lyrics: “I wonder how, I wonder how I will feel, when I see you face to face, Yaweh this is what I’ll do, worship is what I’ll do”….
