A PROMISE

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."

John 14:1-3
King James Version

In this world of violence and hatred, it is a healing balm to our battle scarred heart to know that Jesus is coming back for us and all the heartache and sorrow we have now will be over. Jim Hill wrote the beautiful heart touching hymn "What a Day That Will Be". I love these words.

"There is coming a day, When no heart aches shall come, No more clouds in the sky, No more tears to dim the eye, All is peace forever more, On that happy golden shore, What a day, glorious day that will be. What a day that will be, When my Jesus I shall see, And 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."

Are you shouting with happiness yet? We are going to see Jesus face to face and we will be with Him forever. Carrie E. Breck wrote one of my favorite hymns "Face to Face with Christ, My Savior". "What rejoicing in His presence, When are banished grief and pain; When the crooked ways are straightened, And the dark things shall be plain. Face to face with Christ, my Savior, Face to face—what will it be, When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?"

What a privilege it is to be a part of the family of God and to know that one happy and joyous day we will see our precious Saviour face to face. How I long for that day when I will have the privilege to see Him face to face.
