Recently, I have been hooking up with friends from primary school whom I have not seen since 1981. Some I can still recognize. Some I can't. We shared joke and warm greetings over facebook but I often wondered, what it will be like if we meet face to face? After all, with some, it has been almost 30 years. Back then, we have not even finished growing up yet.
The experience of reunion varied among my friends. Some found that warmth and friendliness over facebook does not translate into the same experience face to face. Meeting can be stilted, common interest difficult find, and the whole experience a disappointment.
I am not going to analyze the reason behind it. But I am reminded that one day I am going to experience a face to face reunion with my Lord. How is it going to be like? Can I stand his glory and holiness? Will we be like strangers? Or will there be recognition brought on by continued communion? What can I do today to make sure, that when I meet the Lord, there will be signs of mutual recognition?
I hope it will be as Sandy Patty describe it in this song.
