IF YOU ARE LIKE ME, CERTAIN SONGS THAT YOU HEAR AUTOMATICALLY REMIND YOU OF CERTAIN PEOPLE. I AM 41 YEARS OLD AND EVERY NOW AND THEN, I HEAR A SONG THAT MENTALLY TAKES ME DIRECTLY BACK TO WHEN I WAS A CHILD. THERE IS A SONG MENTALLY ATTACHED TO JUST ABOUT EVERY IMPORTANT THING THAT EVER HAPPENED IN MY LIFE. AND I AM GETTING PRETTY OLD, SO YOU CAN IMAGINE, I HAVE QUITE A FEW.
TODAY, I WOKE UP WITH A SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD. IT HAPPENS TO BE A SONG THAT MY PASTOR, BRO JERRY ODOM SEEMS TO ABSOLUTELY LOVE. WHEN WE SING IT IN CHURCH, ITS EASY TO SEE THAT IT MEANS SO MUCH TO HIM. SOMETIMES, HE INCLUDES THE WORDS OF THIS SONG IN SOME OF HIS SERMONS. ITS ON MY MIND AND IN MY HEART THIS MORNING, SO I AM GOING TO WRITE MY "NOTE" ABOUT IT TODAY.
".....WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE, WHEN MY JESUS I SHALL SEE. WHEN I LOOK UPON HIS FACE, THE ONE WHO SAVED ME BY HIS GRACE. WHEN HE TAKES ME BY THE HAND, AND LEADS ME THROUGH THE PROMISED LAND. WHAT A DAY, GLORIOUS DAY, THAT WILL BE...."
I WONDER WHAT IT WILL ACTUALLY BE LIKE TO LITERALLY SEE JESUS. I HAVE A MENTAL IMAGE OF HIM AND I ASSUME THAT IS HOW HE WILL LOOK, BUT TO SEE HIM IN ALL HIS GLORY IS SOMETHING MY MIND ALMOST CANNOT COMPREHEND. I KNOW MY PARENTS AND MY CHILDREN LOVE ME, I CAN SEE IT WHEN WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER MOST OF THE TIME.
BUT.......
AS THIS THE WORDS TO THIS SONG EXPRESS.... TO LOOK UPON HIS FACE, THE ONE WHO SAVED ME BY HIS GRACE.....THATS A LOOK NONE OF US HAVE EVEN SEEN BEFORE. FROM NO ONE. HE WONT SEE THE SINNER. HE WONT SEE A FAILURE. HE WONT SEE WITH EYES OF ANGER. I WANT TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF MY SAVIOR. HE SAVED ME FROM A LIFE OF MISERY, PAIN AND HEARTACHE. HE DID THAT FOR ME!
WHAT MUST IT BE LIKE TO HOLD JESUS HAND AND STROLL AROUND HEAVEN? IT WILL BE SUCH A GLORIOUS SIGHT TO SEE. I WANNA SEE THE STREETS OF GOLD AND THE GLEAMING WALLS OF GASPER! I WANNA HEAR MY GRANDFATHER CALL MY NAME AND SEE HIS SMILE. I WANNA SEE THE SPLENDOR OF HEAVEN, WHILE JESUS HOLDS MY HAND.
WHAT A DAY THAT WILL BE!!!!!
SOMETIME TODAY, WHEN YOU HAVE A FEW MINUTES OF QUIET TIME, I WISH YOU WOULD SIT BACK AND IMAGINE WHAT THAT DAY WILL BE LIKE. I BET THE IMAGES YOU SEE IN YOUR MIND WILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE! WHEN WE VISUALIZE JESUS, WE VISUALIZE LOVE. A LOVE LIKE NONE OF US HAVE EVER KNOWN. AND THE BEST PART OF IT ALL IS THAT HE LOVES EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. THAT IN ITSELF BLOWS ME AWAY.
