One thing I have asked from the LORD, that I shall seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord and to meditate in His temple. (Psalms 27:4)
Jesus is in the flesh; the incarnation is a powerful, enticing mystery. I have a deep desire to behold Christ’s humanity. I seek my Beloved’s physical face. I cry out for His return to this earth. I desire to kneel at His feet and weep. I yearn to look into His eyes of fire. I want to feel His hand in mine. I crave His tender embrace.
HOWEVER
Jesus is too beautiful. When my Savior and I finally get the chance to look at each other face to face, I will cower in fear. My trembling will be uncontrolled. I will be overwhelmed, and my weak eyes will have no strength to gaze. His beauty will display purity, righteousness, tenderness, and authority like no other!
I have spent most of my Christian life asking God to reveal His Son to me. When my Heavenly Father finally answers this prayer fully, I will regret my request. His beauty will cause more than butterflies….maybe a heart attack…I most assuredly will faint.

Goodness, I just saw a picture of Jason in the newspaper yesterday morning and my heart started beating really hard. And that was a picture. Of my husband. Who I see in person everyday.
I can't imagine what's going to happen when I'm actually face to face with Jesus...
Good song!
Yes, to those who belong to Him, Jesus Christ is altogether lovely, the One "who loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood." But those eyes! "As a flame of fire," seeing into the depths of our souls.
