Jesus

Jesus
Name above all names.
Touches lepers.
Compassionate.
Longsuffering.
Patient.
Intercedes for His Chosen Ones.
Good Shepherd.
Emmanuel.
Lion – fierce and mighty.
Eternal King.
THE Word.
Creator.
Fullness of God.
Died for me.
Mighty Warrior.
Jealous.
Just.
Oh, Savior! How I long to see Your face. I want to touch Your hands and Your hair. Is it really white? Will it always be white?
Will I be able to look into Your fiery eyes?
What do You smell like? What do You feel like?
May I hug You, if ever my amazement at being in Your presence allows me?
Will You hug me first?
How does a voice of mighty rushing waters sound?
Can I touch Your feet? What if I tried to wash Your feet?
Do I get to kiss your cheek?
Will I be able to see the Holy Spirit?
I will never again be parted from Your presence. I will see Your face and know as I am already known. I will be changed. I will know and understand my position as a daughter, and if a daughter, then an heir.
You will present me blameless before the throne of God because You will have completed the work You have started in me.
Can’t it be soon, Lord? I want to be done sooner rather than later. How much refining do I require? How pure do You want me to be? Where will I go in Your living-temple? What does this mean? Will Your temple move around?
I would like to take a walk with You and just talk with You, do You do that?
Do I get to have time with You all to myself? (Is that being selfish?)
Unchanging.
Omnipotent.
Omnipresent.
Morning Star.
Alpha.
Omega.
Son of God.
Son of Man.
Prince of Peace.
You are God, the King eternal, perfect, holy, and just.
You will rule this world with a rod of iron.
All people will bow before You.
They will confess that You are Lord of all.

I love You, Lord.
Make me reflect Your light.

“The LORD, the LORD, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, keeping steadfast love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.”
Exodus 34:6-7

“And Moses quickly bowed his head toward the earth and worshiped. And he said, ‘If now I have found favor in Your sight, O Lord, please let the Lord go in the midst of us, for it is a stiff-necked people, and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.’”
Exodus 34:8-9
