What a blessing to know that after the misery of this life there is a heaven! May I be faithful and I want to encourage others to be faithful so we can truly see Jesus face to face and live with Him forever in a peaceful place.
This hymn is of when a person meets the Lord Jesus in the Second Coming of Him to Earth. ,
But how does, in the words of the Old Testament prophet, 'prepare to meet thy God'?.
The Lord Jesus first came to be the Saviour of His people (Matthew 1 verse 21). He did this by living a sinless life, taking away the sins of the world in His body on the cross, and rising from the dead for us. If people repent and believe the above work of Jesus, they shall be born again of the Holy Spirit (John chapter 3 verse 3), and be on this way to Heaven.
Only when a person is born again can they look forward to meet Him face to face (1 John 3 verses 1 and 2).
What a woman of God! Blind all her life and yet she wrote 8000 plus hymns of the Christian faith. Look what our Lord did through one woman! Quit wallowing in self pity, get up and surrender your life to God. He wants to do amazing things through you. Forget those things behind and stretch Sonward brother or sister. Don't delay!
