Standing Face to Face

Could it be that people do not pursue God more aggressively because they have no reference of how great being in his presence really is?

Can you imagine what it would be like to walk with Jesus? Literally walk down your street with him? Can you imagine having him stay in your home? Eat at your table? Talk with him in the flesh face to face, see him heal a life long paraplegic or raise your child from the cold grip of death?

I can’t.

I think I have a very good imagination but that is all beyond me.

To stand face to face with God……what would I do? I know what I would like to think I’d do but probably I would stand there frozen with my jaw on the ground. And I think I’d probably be afraid. What should I read into that?

I have no idea how fabulous being in the presence of God will be and so I do not pursue it to my fullest extent.
