With My Own Eyes...

"But as for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, and He will stand upon the earth at last.  And after my body has decayed, yet in my body I will see God!  I will see Him for myself.  Yes, I will see Him with my own eyes.  I am overwhelmed at the thought!"

Job 19:25-27

Job was experiencing great personal pain and suffering.  His world had crashed.  Reasons for this season of hurt were lacking.  His only response was to declare what he was sure of:

My Redeemer is real.

His rule is unshakable.

This pain will have an end.

I will see God with my own eyes.

What was true for Job, is true for us.  I've not really spent time thinking about the reality that I will actually see God.  I've never really tried to imagine what that will be like.

I did today.

Like Job, "I am overwhelmed at the thought!"

How bout you?  Have you ever really thought about what it will be like when you actually see Jesus with your own eyes?

To quote my college President, Dr. Don Meyer, "Think about it."
