We shall see God






I have been really enjoying the book, "We shall See God" by Charles Spurgeon. It has been giving me such a perspective of heaven and of eternal life that God wants me to have even though I live on this earth. Things that are surrounded seems so beautiful in nature. I do so longing for the day of Jesus' return yet so humbled by God's grace that has been displayed that I see with my physical eyes.
I want to quote some words that touched me.

It says,
    Heaven is the place of fellowship with God, and this is a blessed feature in its joy. But in this we are now participants for "indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ" (1John 1:3). The fellowship of the Holy Spirit is with us all. It is our joy and our delight.

  Having communion with the triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - We are uplifted and sanctified, and it is appropriate that the will of the Lord should be done by us on Earth as it is in Haven (Matthew 6:11).

  It is ours to be in the forefront in daily conflict with sin and Satan, and at the same time it is ours to bring up the rear, battling with the pursuing foe. God help us, since we are honored with so rare a sphere, to do his will on Earth as it is done in Heaven.

  Then you say, "But Heaven is the place of overflowing joy." Yes, and have you no joy even now? A saint who lives near to God is so truly blessed that he will not be much astonished when he enters Heaven. He will be surprised to behold its glories more clearly, but he will have the same reason for delight as he possesses today. We live below the same life which we shall live above, for we are made alive below the same security. Joy! Do you not know it? Your Lord says, "My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full" not be fuller; you will be brighter, doubtless, but you will not be cleaner than you are when the Lord has washed you and made you white in his own blood.

This life is but the entrance to glory. Clothe yourselves in the righteousness of Jesus Christ, for this is the royal robe of Earth and Heaven. Now begin the song which your lips shall sing in Paradise, or else you will never be admitted to the heavenly choirs.

P.S. the picture of me was actually that my whole right side was swollen after I got stung by bee.
