One Day

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will be the first to rise. After that, we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words…” 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18, Berean Study Bible.

Years ago, I had a dream that I was standing outside in an open field, and as I looked up at the sky, I began to go up in the air. As I went up, I could sense my Father smiling. The only thing on my mind was I finally get to see Him face to face. Finally, I get to see the One who had been with me all this time. I tell you, nothing else mattered.

I know you’ve been in the trenches. You’re holding on with all you’ve got, and it’s been an unbelievable fight. God knows, and He promises as we wait on Him, looking forward to His return, we will receive renewed strength, and we will mount up with wings as an eagle. Waiting on God causes us to run and not get weary; to walk and not faint (see Isaiah 40:31).

Take a moment to think about eternity with the Father. There will be no more tears and no more pain. One day, you will see Him face to face. You will enter into His rest and see His glory. My husband imagines he will find a tree and sit down next to it–taking it all in. I imagine running into the arms of Jesus then sliding across the transparent golden street!

What do you see yourself doing? We want to know.

Prayer: Father God, thank you for giving me new strength as I wait on you. Spending eternity with you sometimes seem far away, but I know it’s closer than I think. Help me to finish the work you’ve given me to do on earth. And when life gets hard as it often does, help me to think about all that awaits me in eternity with you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.r

  1. Father God, I look forward to my eternal future with you. While I’m waiting I want to taste the good word of God and the powers of the World To Come.

      1. I always have this vision in my soul and head that when I get stressed out and feel weak in my sprit I run and sit on my father’s lap I don’t see his face but he comforts me and let’s me know that it’s going to be OK and I don’t see his face because it’s not over yet he has a purpose for me that has too be finished before I see his face and I ok with his presence in my life

  2. I was yielded the think about his return today…life has been “lifing!”
    I want to see his face, and sit at his feet and rest in his divine presence! This is why you had to go through this, I walked with you during that! I carried you during that! That was a test, A protected from that! 🙌🏽

  3. A blessed word from your heart to mine, I see myself walking as a child along the beach with His hand in mine ☺

  4. It turns out I have quite a list:
    I want to see Jesus, spend time with Him, see my friends, relatives,
    the people who went before me, from the Bible as well as others; such as Horatio Spafford, who wrote it is well with my soul after suffering so many losses.
    Then I want to go see this: (this is what I desire to see the most!)
    “And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb.
    In the middle of its street,
    and on either side of the river,
    was the tree of life,
    which bore twelve fruits,
    each tree yielding its fruit every month.
    The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.”
    ‭‭Revelation‬ ‭22‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

  5. When I imagine going home, I took picture running into His warm embrace, staying there until I am completely sated, and then receiving the white stone and learning the special “nickname” He has for me. When I read of this in revelation I was fascinated. When I go on long walks and come across stones I’m reminded and encouraged, this is not my home. We will be with him face to face soon. This is Beyond comforting to know.

  6. I see myself falling to my knees…looking up at him with the thought of finally… I’m here to see my father my savior my king face to face. I will have the biggest smile on my face.
    To see him… my heart will be over joyed. More than likely…I will be speechless, frozen in the moment of so much joy to just see his face and hold his hands as he lifts me up and calls me daughter…my heart flutters now at the mere thought of it all.

  7. I have dreams of sitting on a grass hill, overlooking the sea in Ireland.
    I am cuddling with a huge lion. He is my Lion of Judah, and waves of love come from Him and it surrounds and fills me. We speak heart-to-heart and mind-to-mind. We are watching horses frolicking and playing on the shore below.
    Sometimes I dream that we are soaring over the shore.
    It feels like these are moments apart from this world where I can recharge.
    It might be like this, but then I have come very close to death many times and I have experienced The Throne. When being there, it is also remembering because I came from there. Waves of love surround and fill me. The Light is immense and has music. It is all my King and coming from Him. I am grateful beyond words for being able to remember this and remember who I am in my King. This has given me automatic Faith. I am in ecstasy remembering now. It will be like that in His Presence. Nothing else matters in His Presence.
    I am a Daughter of the King, and my beautiful Sisters, this is all that matters.

  8. I can only imagine seeing Jesus and Him bringing me to this beautiful room He prepared for me. I imagine looking out for the window at the green pasture with so many assorted flowers and streets of gold. I imagine seeing my family, my daughter who lived for 45 minutes and just hugging each of them. There is love, music and laughter. I want to hear the Heavenly Father say well done, please come in. Thank you. Blessings, Shalom and Agape 👀🙏🏽♥️📖🙌🏽

  9. I see myself running to Jesus, jumping in his arms like child kissing him and squeezing him and hugging him never wanting to let him go that’s what I see myself doing. And I can’t wait for that Special Eternal day with you Papa God ❤️😃

  10. I see myself curled up in his arms releasing every tear of sadness i ever experienced to finally have a never ending joy from it to be heard to be seen to be understood to be feel genuine love with a warm wind blowing softly across us in a beautiful awe of pink and gold and white flowers around just being help like a baby again

  11. I imagine sitting at his feet looking up at him like a child in awe. And I imagine hearing his voice as he lifts me up and embraces me in his arms and feeling so safe and secure. And the laughter and overflowing Joy that would erupt inside of me. Because finally I’m with my Daddy-God, and there’s no more pain, there’s no more disappointment. No more hurt and no more death. I imagine being reunited with my Mommy who’s been gone for 2 years now and it’s been really really hard. 😩

  12. Right now my focus is to witness to as many as I can about repentance and making sure I live the life that’s pleasing to Jesus, but I can honestly say to have my entire family and friends in heaven with me ,will be unspeakable joy and I think one of the things I will do when I get to heaven is to thank God for sending his son Jesus, thank Jesus for dying for me and If he would have me, I would definitely sing to Jesus…that will be an honor, privilege, and words just can’t explain. I would love to sing to Jesus face to face.

  13. I imagine that I will dance with Jesus when I see Him. I want to reach as many family members and loved ones as I can to tell them about my Jesus.

  14. I picture Jesus and I riding horses together! The wind is blowing the sun is shining flowers, a beautiful field, a place where I feel peace, comfort and joy no more heartache no more devil!!! The older I get the more I’m ready for that day 🩷🔥🙌🏻

  15. Good morning Father God, God on high! I thank You for giving me You to look forward to! I imagine myself on bended knee, bowing before God, sobbing, because I finally get to see Him face-to-face! Then I will jump into His arms so that He can coddle me, rock me to sleep while saying “Well done My child”! Then after waking, I will rejoice and praise Him for eternity! Hallelujah, praise be to God!!! Thank You Father God! I pray this in Jesus Christ name, Amen! 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

  16. Yes Lord!! It’s as if I’ve been hearing or preparing to hear trumpets leading to resemblances of those who left us already.

    What a foretaste!
