Till we see Him face to face…
I was listening to and pondering the song You Are Awesome In This Place this morning and it spoke of this idea. One day we will stand before Him face to face.
Will I have loved Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength? Will I have loved my neighbor as myself? (Mark 12:29-31) Will I have lived by His every word? (Matthew 4:4) Will I have offered myself as a living sacrifice? (Romans 12:1) Or will I have lived for self with a little of these things mixed in giving me a mere form of religion?
Oh, how my heart yearns for more than a “form of religion”!
Until that time when we meet Him face to face, what kind of people ought we to be? (2 Peter 3:11)
These are some things that the Lord is speaking to my heart ~ isn’t it so good to hear the voice of the Shepherd calling us to come and follow Him each day?
Such a beautiful post and so very true. I really like the entire post but especially the one about “will I have lived for self with a little of these things mixed in giving me a mere form of religion?” This is a deep pondering question and I thank you so much for sharing it with us. My heart too yearns for more than a “form of religion.” Enjoy your day and God bless.
And the great thing about that day, is that we will be free from sin, and with our Saviour. What a goal in life!

Dear Sweet Friend … you have given so much to think about and to act upon! Thank you! Hugs ♥ Teri
Thank you for this encouragement, dear Sharon. So convicting and motivating to truly seek the Lord’s will and aim to please Him in all things. I want to be found waiting and ready for my Lord’s return! I’m adding 2 Peter 3:11 to my memory verse and plan to meditate on that for a while. Praying for the Lord’s pruning and molding in my life!!
Blessings to you and your family as we begin this new year of our Lord,
Katie
Some excellent thoughts to ponder, Sharon. Thank you.
I hope you are having a lovely week.
Hi Sharon..
Such a lovely post that is well worth pondering.. You are so right when you say that we need more than a form of religion.. His coming is so near and we so need to put Him first in our lives..
Thank you so much…
