|There is beauty up there that no shadow can touch.|
The Kingdom of God is unshakable, strong and marvelous. I look forward to the day I set foot into eternity, Heaven, my true home, and get to see His beautiful face for the very first time. I'm excited for that day...what about you?
"But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you." Matthew 6:33
|Come soon, Lord Jesus.|
One thing have I asked of the LORD, that will I seek after: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord and to inquire in His temple.
Psalm 27:4
What if our biggest longing, our most calling out to God was just to be in His presence all the days of our lives?
Sometimes I get caught up when I pray. I pray for God to help me with this or that, get me out of this little awkward situation, help me to be a better person, and so on. There's nothing wrong with asking God earnestly for things. But so often the only time I pray is for things like this.
When simply, David prayed earnestly just to be in God's presence. What if we all prayed more to be in God's presence all the days of our lives? What if we actually longed to see God's beauty like this verse talks about?
For in God's presence we are made whole. We are radiant with His love and light, basking in His holy presence we are changed to want to be more like Him. A deep desire in us rises to want to be more like Him, fleeing from darkness and basking in His light when we stand in His presence.
In His presence there is fullness of joy! (Psalm 16:11). In His presence we are abundantly filled and never wanting, but content with His overflowing presence and love.
To be in His presence gazing upon His beauty for literally all my life...what a powerful and life changing picture...
