“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.
My sister, many years ago, I had a dream that I was standing outside in an open field, and I looked up at the sky. While I was looking up, I began to go up in the air. And as I went up, I could sense my Father smiling at me. The only thing on my mind was I finally get to see Him face to face. I finally get to see the One who had protected me, comforted me, and strengthened me. In that moment, nothing else mattered.
I know you’ve been in the trenches, trying your hardest not to lose heart. Trying to hold on until the end. It’s been a fight, an unbelievable fight. God knows, and He cares. 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 each day 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 that he will find a tree somewhere and sit down next to it, taking it all in. I imagine myself like a kid in a candy store–exploring, talking with everybody, and making music with heaven’s instruments!
What do you imagine yourself doing? I 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.
First giving thanks to You God my everythingππ½ Hallelujah PRAISE GOD ππ½, I can only imagine looking You straight in your face, the moment my eyes meet your eyes, my hands touch your hands, your loving arms wrapped around me, rocking me like your child. Shouting GLORY HALLELUJAH, I HAVE MADE IT. WE WILL WALK AROUND HEAVEN ALL DAY LONG, NO MORE SICKNESS, NO MORE WORRYING, JUST JOY, UNTHINKABLE JOY AND HAPPINESS, SABBATH WILL HAVE NO END.β€οΈπβ€οΈππ½β€οΈπβ€οΈππ½β€οΈππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ππ½ I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BEπππ½ππ½β€οΈππ½ππ CAN’T WAIT UNTIL I SEE MY SAVIOUR FACE TO FACE.
I can only imagine! Walking around heaven with my love ones that passed before me. What a feeling? Introducing my kids to their grandma, that they never got the chance to meet. No more pain and suffering, no more bills! What a beautiful feeling boy I can’t wait!
I could picture myself singing with a choir of angels since I love to sing especially to my Jesus and sometimes playing a heavenly piano. I look forward to Jesus 2nd coming. PRAISE THE LORD HALLEJUAH!
Hallelujah!!! I canβt wait to see you face to face… yes, I slide once in awhile and need to get back with my church family to praise you in all that you have done for me.. I know that you have been with me every step of the way and yes I have failed you many times in the past…I just hope and pray that I donβt anymore in the future… I wouldnβt be alive today if it wasnβt for you…please pray for my daughter and granddaughter as you have for me….they carry so much hurt and wear a suit of armor to protect themselves.. I planted the seeds many time but their not blooming.. I love you as you do me… in your Name, Amen
I will be running,doing cartwheels, back filps, a whole acrobatic routine joyfully praising the Lord. I long to do these physical activities again. As a child I did the cartwheels and the running but not the back flip. In eternity I will, praising God the whole time!!!!!
What a day that will be. I can imagine i have left this old world with all its pain and suffering. I am now in the land where I will never grow old, no more sickiness no more unfaithfulness, no more lost of friend and love one’s. Like the song writer say Joy unspeakable and Full of Love.
I want to lay at his feet and just cry tears of Joy!!

I will dance with joy giving thanks to the one who saved my soul!
I imagine the beauty will be indescribable. I would look upon my savior and sing of His glory with notes never heard before forever and ever.
I will hug him so tight for a very long time,with tears of Joy on my eyes…..
πΎ Oh how I canβt wait for that day to come. Oh I will run to him and jump up in his arms hugging him tight, saying Iβm Home. πand I will be sitting on my Heavenly Fathers lap like a child and just conversating to himπππ. How Im so desperate to see your face and touch his garment and singing πΆ Praises Holy Holy Holy the God Almighty I praise God I praise your Holy name. Amen π¦
Each devotional time spent with my Abba Daddy, my Lord Jesus, and my teacher, guide, and helper, the Holy Spirit; begins with me as a little girl running up the isle of His Most Holy temple. My Father’s arms are open wide and He gathers me in to sit on His lap. I gaze upon Jesus, sitting on His right, thanking and praising Him for everything! Then I turn to the Holy Spirit and seek His plans for me that day. What teachings do I need from The Word…and who am I being sent to that day. We are all truly blessed beyond measure to be princesses, daughters of the King!
It will be immensely fantastic and incredibly wonderful to look upon our Savior, Whose eyes are like flames of fire!! What a joy to be given the responsibility to care for a beautiful flower garden with every imaginable species and color of flower!! And to join in with the heavenly hosts singing, “holy holy holy is the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY”!!!
I imagine asking God so many questions, just like a kid. Seating next to Him knowing that He saved my life. Being able to finally sing and praise Him in spririt and in truth. I will be made perfect and He will say well done, well done my faithful daughter , you can rest in me now and forever.
I will be saying glory to God Hallelujah I found made it home to be with my Lord and savior no more pain and no more of the world I have been living on just peace and happiness with my Lord and savior what a blessing that will be Amen
I see myself being held by Him, as a daughter would here on earth with her Daddy. Cant wait to be held by my Heavenly Father!! Just simply held. π
Just sitting with Him, and having a one on one conversation. Then holding His hand and running and dancing with him like a young child. Then dancing for him as in praise and worship and bowing before Him.
I imagine singing with the Angels! Singing to Him!
I want that day to come so I can hug him and cry in his arms and he take away my hurt heart.
I imagine being in a beautiful open field of sweet flowers, beautiful birds, and a beautiful Crystal lake with a little row boat and Jesus sitting with me and no more tears, no more pain and my pass life totally gone and there were my 8 beautiful children there with me along with their children laughing and playing and jumping in the lake and eating fruits from this tree of life.

I canβt wait to dance with the King and to be held by Him β€οΈπ¦ππΌ
Greetings! What a beautiful Devo. I imagine myself at the beach praising the Lord. I imagine His warm embrace as He whispers in my ear, “well done daughter”. I imagine seeing my baby girl who passed away. I imagine walking the streets of Gold in the cool of the day. I imagine walking with the lions and petting them with no fear. I imagine peace! Glory to God!!!!
I imagine myself first silent, bowing down in tears of gratefulness, and then He taking my hand and we begin to dance!!!
I just want ABBA DADDDY to hold me so close and tightly ,Like a FATHER LOVES HIS Children,Never letting me go. β‘β‘β‘
All these comments were such a blessing and so are you sister. I imagine ABBA daddy holding me and kissing me and I don’t want to let Him go. He’s been the only father I have ever known. I want to follow Him wherever He goes. I can’t wait to see all the unexpected family and friends that I never met and to be surprised by all the people I thought were never saved. Just praising and thanking Him for all eternity in a glorious land.
Praise to no one else, what a day am longing to have.praises to my God.
When I finally get to see Jesus face to face and be in His presence, I see myself and Jesus dancing, laughing and playing together. The joy and fun fills me with laughter and I have the biggest smile ever! Joy Unspeakable and Full of Glory!!!!! I so look forward to being Home with You, Jesus!!
