That Moment

Isaiah 12

In that day you will say:

"I will praise you O Lord. Although you were angry with me, your anger has turned away and you have comforted me. Surely God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The Lord, the Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation." With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.

In that day you will say:

"Give thanks to the Lord, call on his name; make known among the nations what he has done, and proclaim that his name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for he has done glorious things; let this be known to all the world. Shout aloud and sing for joy, people of Zion, for great is the Holy One of Israel among you."

The God whose anger has turned away, who has comforted me and given me salvation. The God who has taken my fears away, and has become my strength and my song of Joy. I know now that when I leave this earth, that I will experience the greatest moment of my now, entire eternal life. It will be the first time that I see the face that was twisted in pain. The face that could not turn away as the Son was slain. The face that has rivers of tears that dwarfed the world's oceans, flowing down as He saw the King murdered by the people He was saving. It will be when I look into the eyes that are more pure and piercing than a blade of diamond. It will be when I hear the voice filled with authority, power, and kindness telling me I am forgiven for my sins. And it will be the embrace of gentle comfort that brings eternal Peace. That will be the best moment of my life. I will no longer be sad or afraid, then, or now. Instead, I will give thanks and praise Him. I will call on Him in the hard times to remind me of this moment that will come in but a breath of time. I will go out and make known of Him, what He has done, and of this moment that I wait for to all of this world. I will sing before all the world without shame and hold on to Him when I am ridiculed for it. I will shout aloud and sing for Joy. For He has given me Joy in my Hope to see His face before I fall before Him in praise and feelings that cannot be know to me as a man, but will be made known to me when I see Him. I was all things wrong and broken, but now I am Free and Joyful. There is no limit to His Love and Salvation.

God, You have saved me, and so many others. Please use us to save more, because we cannot keep this feeling to ourselves. This moment must be experience by as many as possible. Help us to fill Your house for all eternity, a word we use so lightly, but that holds meaning beyond our understanding. God, help me remember that I'm small, that You are God, and that I am Free thanks to You and You only. Thank You for my Freedom, I await the day I come home to You, and live this moment. Thank You for Loving me.
