More Than We Imagine

1 John 2:28-3:3 (NIV)
Children of God

28 And now, dear children, continue in him, so that when he appears we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming.

29 If you know that he is righteous, you know that everyone who does what is right has been born of him.

3:1 How great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. 3 Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure.

I've always thought to myself, that when Jesus second coming comes, I'll probably not even dare to look at my Savior face to face. He will be so full of glory and awe, that I could only garner enough strength to kneel upon His feet and worship Him. But nowadays, I can't wait for His return.

Father, I know my life now is a fleeting moment. However Lord, while I'm at it, use me to bring glory to You, so that when the day Jesus set his feet on earth again, I will be confident to see my Lord, and be glad that I persevered on and finished my race.

It will definitely be a moment that is more than I can imagine!
