In the presence of God

http://bible.org/seriespage/heaven-home-redeemed

The fellowship in Heaven will surpass anything that we have known on earth. Up there “God is with men; He will dwell with them, and God Himself shall be with them.” We shall enter into a fellowship with the triune God that is utterly unknown on earth. Men dwelling with “God Himself!” Could anything be higher and more glorious? Then we will know the blessed reality of the words of Christ, where He said: “Blessed are the pure in heart; for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). In addition to having fellowship with “God Himself,” Father, Son and Holy Spirit, we will commune with the “innumerable company of angels, the general assembly and church of the firstborn, and to the spirits of just men made perfect” (Hebrews 12:22-24). What a fellowship! What a joy divine!

There is definitely something compelling about the idea of seeing God. I’ve heard the question, “If you could ask God one question, what would it be?” I wonder if I would be able to ask a question at all, standing in the presence of God. Or even lying face-down. To dwell with God would be awesome and awe-full at the same time. I can’t even imagine what that would be like.
