I See Again

    Tonight I saw some of the rehearsals for our Easter Productions on Sunday.  There are musical pieces/dramas showing various miracles Jesus performed, the betrayal at the the Garden, His crucifixion and death, and His resurrection from death.  I was pretty much crying the whole time : )  Sometimes it is easy to take everything He's done for us as just another everyday event, especially for someone like me who has grown up hearing all the Bible stories.  

     It is so refreshing to all of a sudden take it at face value, like a slap of cold water in the face and "re-see" it all over again, with the shock of that depth of Love and that depth of pain;  realizing the Passionate Love the Father had for us, to put Jesus on the earth in our form for the sole purpose of becoming the sacrifice of the world, and the Hope of our lives.  It really is amazing! 

    I found myself sitting there, just longing for the day when I will finally see Him face to face.  I sometimes wonder what that will be like... I realize He is Lord and have a picture in my mind of falling on my knees in surrender and adoration... but what I want to do more than anything, is to run into His open arms, bury my head in His chest and strong embrace, laughing, and crying, and think, "At Last! At Last!"  It is going to be incredible!
