Have you ever thought about that?
There is no reason under heaven why you should be the least bit scared to meet Him and to look in His eyes. He has never wanted you to be afraid of Him!
He is your Friend—already is. You don’t have to do anything to win Him over to become your Friend. That idea is part of the darkness that good preachers used to preach before that wonderful “latter rain” began to come with better Good News for us. When He gave Himself for you on His cross, He did that to prove to you that He is already your Best Friend forever.
There’s already a silent, underground bond that has tied you to Him ever since you first began to respond to His love for you. That means when you finally do see Him and you can meet Him, you will look into His eyes and He will look into your eyes, and the two of you will instantly recognize each other (of course He will have known you all along). There will be a glint shining in His eyes as He looks into your eyes that will tell you that He knows all about you (and still loves you) and you will feel like you have known Him all your life.
You will instantly feel like He is the other half of that “broken stone” that is you. You will tell everybody, “I have never really known until this moment what pure happiness is!” Translation will be a thrill. He will put His arm around you and sweep you up with Him into heaven. And you will at last feel perfectly at home with Him because from this day on you will live with him here.
