Jesus,
If I finally saw Your face,
Would I know how to be brave? Would your eyes of love compel me to do hard things, to say true words?
If I finally saw Your face,
Would your tears teach me of Your love? Would proof of Your compassion make my pain more bearable? Would I hold on for You?
If I finally saw Your face,
Would I recognize Your likeness in theirs? In my children, in the stranger, in my enemy? Would I do better at loving them?
If I finally saw Your face,
Would I believe I am beloved? Would your smile tell my heart what Your word already does, that I am Yours?
If these light and temporary troubles did not weigh me down with care, would I long less for that wonderful day when
Finally, I see Your face?
But you DO see His face, in the kindness and compassion of your words
Yes, 1 John 12…but when I see Him fully, it will be so much more!
I too look forward to that day – and we shall be like Him
It will be a a wonderful–more wonderful than we can imagine–moment when we meet Jesus face to face!
So heartfelt and beautiful! ❤️ G
