"We shall endlessly be all had in God: Him verily seeing and fully feeling, Him spiritually hearing, and Him delectably in-breathing, and [of] Him sweetly drinking. And then shall we see God face to face, homely and fully. The creature that is made shall see and endlessly behold God which is the Maker."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 43)
We can experience the joy of His presence here in this life, enjoying communion with God. But the knowing and experience of oneness we have with God here is just a foretaste of heaven. What we have now in Spirit we will have there in fullness of experience. We will see our wonderful God. We will feel Him, hear Him, drink in His presence, breathe in His love. We will experience union with God in a full way that we can't even imagine completely! It will be a joy and peace and sense of belonging beyond anything we've ever known. It will be an immersion in the loving Presence we have always dreamed of and were created to know forever. Even now we can start to enjoy that union. We are one with God right now. And He is just as close and as real as He will be in heaven when we see Him face to face. By His Spirit dwelling in us in oneness and love, we are already enjoying heaven on earth, and our experience of Him will only grow more and more in the future. All we have to look forward to is an eternity of enjoying relationship with our wonderful loving God!
"I will see your face! When I awake, all I want is to see you as you are."
Psalm 17:15 (CEV)
A Prayer: One look on Your face will make me happy for all eternity!
