Hallelujah

“Now you see through a glass, darkly, but someday you will see Me face to face. Then you will be able to experience fully how wide and long and high and deep is My love for you. If you were to experience that now, you would be overwhelmed to the point of feeling crushed. But you have an eternity ahead of you, absolutely guaranteed, during which you can enjoy My presence in unrestricted ecstasy. For now, the knowledge of My loving Presence is sufficient to carry you through each day.” - Sarah Young

wow. How great is the Love of the Lord? I sit here speechless, unable to think of any words to describe Him. I know I do not deserve anything that the Lord has graciously given me. I am so undeserving of His grace that He has lavished upon me. I love how Sarah Young says it, that if I was to experience God face to face, right now, in the place I am in life, I would be rocked so hard it would feel as though I were being crushed. 1 Corinthians 13:12 says,

"Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known."

God knows me, through and through. It scares me that He knows my next thought. And one day, I will get to see the Lord, FACE TO FACE! I don't know about you, but this makes me excited. I long to know Him fully. He is so complex and marvelous, that my childish mind cannot begin to comprehend. I sit here in awe, struggling to find the appropriate words, but there are none. I can only think of one: Hallelujah.
