Desiring to see God, but…

Tanya Nemley listens to God’s heart and shares it with those who read her blog.

God Speaks I Listen

I need to be inside of you God.  I need to feel your light and the rays of your glory all inside of me and I need to feel me in you like I was before you sent me to earth to be born.  I need that supernatural closeness with you.   I need to see your face.  I need to see where your essence resides and see you on your glorious throne.  I need to hear your powerful voice.  I need to be able to worship you directly in your presence.  I need to see your unspeakable beauty.

In the past, I have wanted to hug you when I got to heaven, but I now realize that all I need to do is have the fullness of your light touch me. That is how powerful your glory is. I need to give you the crown that I have been working…

Love So Amazing

The One who put the stars in space
Prepares in heaven for me a place,
And someday I will see His face.
Jesus Christ my Savior.

On the cross unjustly slain,
He took away my guilt and shame.
For all my sin He took the blame.
Such love, my Lord and Savior!

My thanks and praise seem so small
Since You, Lord, sacrificed Your all
To redeem creation from our fall,
Mighty Lord and Savior.
(By Tricia 6/5/2019)

“Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.”
(Fourth verse of Isaac Watts’ hymn,
“When I Survey the Wondrous Cross.”)

“Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.” (John 14:1-3 NASB)

Life Now and Later

I just finished reading another excellent sermon by Pastor Tom: ARE THERE “EXTRA” REWARD IN HEAVEN? (https://revth.wordpress.com/2015/06/30/are-there-extra-rewards-in-heaven/) I highly recommend the sermon.
It reminded me of a book I read a few years ago–LIVING AS IF HEAVEN MATTERS by David Shibley. The subtitle of the book is “Preparing Now for Eternity. It helped me start living more purposefully for Jesus. I got the book from the author’s website (http://davidshibley.com/), but it is probably available from Amazon or other book dealers.
