I have been thinking the same thing for the past several days.

Does anybody besides me also find it a bit scary? It is the real Jesus after all. I know whenever people in the Bible were in the presence of the Lord they usually fell down as though dead.

I find it more overwhelming than scary. I understand what you mean though. It will no longer be seeing through faith but being face to face. With our Creator and Savior. I have very many emotions when I think about it.

barb84, I have gone through that range of feeling as well. It usually strikes quickly - almost like a pure terror - and then I shake it off. The odd thing, it does not come when I think about the things satan will be doing. It always comes when I think of standing before Christ. Just the sheer holiness. I have to chasten myself at those times and usually say something to myself like this, "If I had to be completely exposed to any being in the universe - I could do no better than Jesus. I will simply have to trust in His promises, and in the character of the God I have grown to know." Lately, I have started just laughing out loud for no apparent reason. My family has caught me doing this a couple times and they are like, "What?" There is no way to explain it. I am just giddy. But I'm sure if they thought I was a bit crazy before - now they have no doubt!

Silentknight, Yes, it is like terror. When I think about Christ and then think about me standing before Him, well I don't see how I can. A precious verse in the book of Jude, number 24, says it it Christ who is able to present us faultless before the throne (I am paraphrasing). Praise and thanks be to God!

I have spent and am spending countless hours getting our skating club's website ready for registrations and signing up for volunteer commitments. It is beginning to wear and frustrate me as I feel "What is the point of this work?"
Going about my life like nothing is different is quite challenging. I pray for strength and that opportunities will present themselves for me to be able to share what I really want to talk about.
