Have you ever wondered what it will look like, what God will look like and who from your life you will eventually see there?\u00a0Have you ever thought of how glorious it will be to finally be face to face with our Savior? A song that talks about that first encounter with God is \u201cFace to Face\u201d, by the American Idol winner and Christian singer, Mandisa. The lyrics are as follows:<br \/>\n1st verse: \u201cSome days, I dream about Heaven. And some days, I wonder what it\u2019s gonna be like. When I\u2019m leaving behind the pain of this life. And sin is just a memory. \u2018Cause one day I\u2019ll get to look You in the eyes. I can\u2019t wait to be where You are. Close enough to feel Your heart. Face to face. Face to face with You, my Savior. I\u2019m learning that the world I know. Is never gonna feel like home. \u2018Til I\u2019m face to face. Face to face, with You my Savior. We should feel that same amount of excitement about when we get to Heaven.\u00a0 We should have the same feeling that we can\u2019t wait to be where He is and to be face to face with Him for all eternity. We can dream about Heaven all we want, but it won\u2019t even come close to the beauty of it when we see it for the first time in person. How can we not winder what it will be like to leave this world behind and let sin be a distant memory?<br \/>\nSecond verse: \u201cOh some days, the world is just too much to take. And some days, I\u2019m barely hanging by a thread. But I won\u2019t let all of my fear, cripple me here. When I should be rejoicing. \u2018Cause I know the beauty that waits ahead. Chorus: I just wanna be where You are. Close enough to feel Your heart. Face to face. Face to face with You my Savior. I\u2019m learning that the world I know. Is never gonna feel like home. \u2018Til I\u2019m face to face. Face to face, with You my Savior. \u201cSome days this world and all of the pressure in it can feel like it is weighing us down to the point where we can\u2019t even take it anymore. Some days were barely hanging on. But we shouldn\u2019t let any fear cripple us, because we should be happy and rejoicing, not to mention ecstatic about the beauty of Heaven that awaits us in the future.\u00a0 We\u2019re learning that this world we know probably will never quite feel like we belong here and that we aren\u2019t home until we\u2019re face to face with our Lord and Savior.<br \/>\nBridge: \u201cWe\u2019ll sing Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord. Like a sea of voices praising Your name. Every nation, every tongue, will bring You glory. And we will worship You, our God, Face to face. I can\u2019t wait to be where You are. Close enough to feel Your heart. Face to face. Face to face, with You my Savior (with You my Savior). I\u2019m learning that the world I know. Is never gonna feel like home. \u2018Til I\u2019m face to face. Face to face, with You my Savior (with You my Savior). It is mentioned in the Bible that when we get to Heaven we will worship God forever, without ceasing. Every nation, everyone will bring Him glory and worship Him face to face. I know I can\u2019t wait to be where He is and close enough to feel His heart and to be able to worship Him forever in the glory of eternity with all of my fellow believers.<br \/>\nCan\u2019t wait to be with You. Can\u2019t wait to be with You. Face to face. I, can\u2019t wait to be with You. Can\u2019t wait to be with You. Face to face. Can\u2019t wait to be with You. Can\u2019t wait to be with You. Face to face. I, can\u2019t wait to be with You. Can\u2019t wait to be with You. Face to face. &#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We can continue to look forward to the promises we have in store for us in Heaven. We can look forward to our lives and our future with the fact that we are saved by God\u2019s and Jesus\u2019 promise. We can rejoice that nothing compares to the beauty of our Lord and savior. We can also rejoice that even though this life can bring us down, God will eventually let us in to Heaven, where we can worship Him, finally face to face. Nothing will even come close to being in front of God face to face. Look forward to that day when you get to see Him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Have you ever been caught daydreaming about what Heaven would be and will be like?
