EXPECTING TO SEE JESUS-by Anne Graham Lotz

I am now reading my new copy of "Expecting To See Jesus" by author Anne Graham Lotz, the daughter of Dr. Billy and Ruth Graham. ( WWW.ANNEGRAHAMLOTZ.COM )
On page 87 I stopped to write on the first page, what I'm thinking as I read this amazing book.


Oh. My. Gosh!
 I wrote:
"LORD,
If I could afford it, I'd give a copy of this book to everyone I know and literally BEG or BRIBE them to read it!"


Anne does a marvelous job of 'telling it like it is' in the spirit of the Old Testament prophet, Isaiah, she tells of how we teach to 'them' and 'those' and 'others' but when confronted with The Eyes of Our Heart opened to God's HOLINESS, PURITY, and TRUTH, we must declare, as Isaiah did, that "Woe is me! I am undone! I am a man (or woman) of unclean lips!"
In the presence of a most holy, just, pure, and righteous God, we are all unclean....and as we see Him as He truly is, in His holiness, His splendor, the God of all creation, the Light of the world, the Redeemer, the Savior, Lifted up and high on His throne, with His glory filling the sanctuary.....how could we see ourselves other than in the true light of the sinners we are, but for the grace of God?
Anne's goal is to see us all have such a personal relationship with Jesus that we will see the vision of WHO HE really is......everyone who's ever had such a vision is forever changed, from the prophets of old, the New Testament Disciples such as Paul the Apostle, Peter, and Mary of Magdala, to the modern day Christians....all who've experienced a true vision of Jesus are never the same!
Give Me Jesus!
On a scale of one to ten.....definitely a ten!
