Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls
1 Peter 1:8-9
What contrasting images here of pain and war along with the joyful final revelation of Jesus Christ! That day may seem a long time coming, but it WILL come. And what joy there will be for us who are waiting for Him! I cannot begin to imagine the joy I will feel on that day if that which I feel today is just a taste! Worship Him today and bless Him for all He has done and is going to do!
