Face to Face

.

Today while I was making chicken noodle soup, I was listening to songs on my Pandora.
One of the songs mentioned the words "face to face" and I immediately thought,
'How cliché.'

But the more I thought about the phrase, it became quite the contrary....
I just imagined Him standing before my eyes, looking at me with a compassion that cannot be explained. I mean, just try to imagine that, meeting Him face to face....

It is something that I yearn for. That peace and comfort, in knowing that He will tell me that I have done well. He will tell me thanks for holding on. He will tell me that He is proud of my willingness to be broken, to dwell in the darkness and overcome it.

As much as I yearn for it, I know that I won't be able to have this encounter if I don't endure.

2nd day of Lent and I'm already desiring Him more.
