So shall we ever be with the Lord.1 Thessalonians 4:17

Even the sweetest visits from Christ, how short they are — and how

transitory! One moment our eyes see Him, and we rejoice with joy
unspeakable and full of glory, but again a little time and we do not see
Him, for our beloved withdraws Himself from us; like a roe or a young hart
He leaps over the mountains of division; He is gone to the land of spices,
and feeds no more among the lilies.

“If to-day He deigns to bless us

With a sense of pardoned sin,
He to-morrow may distress us,
Make us feel the plague within.”

Oh, how sweet the prospect of the…

time when we shall not behold Him at

a distance, but see Him face to face: when He shall not be as a wayfaring
man tarrying but for a night, but shall eternally enfold us in the bosom of
His glory. We shall not see Him for a little season, but

“Millions of years our wondering eyes,

Shall o’er our Saviour’s beauties rove;
And myriad ages we’ll adore,
The wonders of His love.”

In heaven there shall be no interruptions from care or sin; no weeping shall

dim our eyes; no earthly business shall distract our happy thoughts; we
shall have nothing to hinder us from gazing for ever on the Sun of
Righteousness with unwearied eyes. Oh, if it be so sweet to see Him now
and then, how sweet to gaze on that blessed face for aye, and never have a
cloud rolling between, and never have to turn one’s eyes away to look on a
world of weariness and woe! Blest day, when wilt thou dawn? Rise, O
unsetting sun! The joys of sense may leave us as soon as they will, for this
shall make glorious amends. If to die is but to enter into uninterrupted
communion with Jesus, then death is indeed gain, and the black drop is
swallowed up in a sea of victory.
