I can only imagine

He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! (Revelation 22:20 ESV)

When you think about judgement day, are you scared or excited? Above is the second to last verse in the Bible and it is clear that we should be excited and welcome the day. On one hand I am excited, I want to see that day. I wonder what my reaction will be. I wonder what Heaven will be like.

When I listen to the words to "I Can Only Imagine " by Mercy Me it gets me really thinking about my questions.

"Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you Jesus or in awe of you be still?
Will I stand in your presence or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all?"

What will it be like? Will I recognize all who I have known? Will I be able to hug my grandparents again? Will my wife and kids still be with me? The answers to these questions, like those posed in the song aren't readily evident in the Bible. It is kind of like when we headed off to Cedar Point earlier this year. We knew there were a lot of roller coasters, but we fantasized about what we would feel as we went over the first hills, or as we accelerated to unimaginable speeds. Like our experience then, only better, we will not be disappointed by what we find when we enter Heaven. It surely will be more glorious than we can even imagine.

I, for one, am looking forward to that day.

God bless you.
